The group had a reading list of articles/blog posts to look at before the meeting to spark discussion; check it out here.

Our next meeting will be in August or September; an announcement will be posted to the “tblc-workshops” email list when we have a firm date.  At this meeting we will be discussing Part II – looking at examples of cool OPACs that have implemented Library 2.0 features, and also at Library 2.0 sites that are using features that may be of interest to libraries for their OPACs.
