1. Intro 

Definition of RA 2.0:

RA 2.0 is the art of using digital tools not only to share information with and advise readers on finding the right book for the right mood, but to collaborate with both colleagues and patrons/readers to create, enhance, and use old and new readers' resources and forums; RA 2.0 helps us create community and address the social aspects of reading by going to where the readers are, as well as inviting them into our organizing, reviewing, and publicizing processes.

 

Linda Braun, in YAttitudes: "I describe 2.0 as the ability to truly interact with content on the Web. The 1.0 world was all about finding information, reading it, and perhaps printing or copying and pasting parts of the content. 2.0 is all about creating information that others can add to or change or adding and changing something that someone else already created."--

6. "Do's and don'ts"

*Cindy. (e.g., if you start something, don't forget to update; don't feel like you need to look at every link and learn to use every tool. Be selective and prioritize what's going to make your job easier, and make you a better RA. Don't be afraid to make mistakes or waste a little time; one way to sell your idea to the higher ups is to build a simple prototype to show them.
