Reflective Questions
-
Is ‘the web’ itself a platform for services?
-
How do you define ‘social media’? How useful is the definition? Where, when and why do you use the definition?
-
Who, so far, has derived most benefit from ‘social media’ and who, if anyone, has been significantly harmed by it?
-
Is ‘the web’ the ‘Library without the librarian’?
-
How do you anticipate social media will impact library and librarian roles over the next decade?
-
Should public libraries provide blog services and, if so, why?
-
What is the librarian’s role in determining what is acceptable and what is unacceptable? Should librarians be gatekeepers? To whom and for what are they responsible?
