The most interesting textbook I've read since starting graduate school. A very good coverage of the various social networking and other social software tools used in libraries. Our textbook for the LIBR246 class on Web 2.0 Tools. Interessant is haar aandacht voor 'The Mobile Revolution'. Seems like a fairly general introduction, with some basic advice that is squarely aimed at the non-technical or those with little knowledge of internet technologies and releated subjects. Likely to be of much more use for people that fit into the new category, that to your standard familiarised internet denizen of today, apart from some of the general overall advice perhaps.
"Both books [Farkas, Social software in libraries and Bradley, How to use Web 2.0 in your library] can be recommended to any librarian who want to find out about these technologies and how they may be used... If you wish to buy only one, then the choice on grounds of coverage and cost has to be Farkas..."
