Web 2.0 - it's everywhere

More and more is being said about Web 2.0 in more and more 'mainstream' sources. The latest two issues of InCite have some articles.
The November 07 issue compares and contrasts Library 2.0 and EBLIB (evidence-based library and information practice).
The December 07 issue reports on the SLQ Library 2.0 Unconference 2007, gives some of the blog posts from participants in ECU Library's Learning 2.0 program, and has some musings by Kerry Webb (in Webb's web) on Web 2.0.

How are libraries using Web 2.0?

More from Elsevier.

2collab now up and running

Copied shamelessly from the ScienceDirect Connect newsletter for Nov/Dec:

"On 27 November 2collab launched with a new interface and additional functionality. All Scopus and ScienceDirect customers will see 2collab integrated in Scopus through the "Bookmark" button and the "Add to 2collab" button in ScienceDirect.

2collab is a new, free collaborative research tool that enables researchers to share bookmarks, references or any linked material with their peers and colleagues. Additionally, 2collab will drive usage of ScienceDirect and Scopus, while enabling Elsevier to observe, analyse, and learn how researchers use and tag scholarly data as a community. Go to the 2collab website and join!"
