Abstract
How well do Web 2.0 tools work for libraries? There have been countless articles written about which Web 2.0 tools libraries should be using and for what purposes, but what about the success of those that are already being used? Casey-Cardinia Library Corporation (CCLC) conducted a survey of online and in-building users over a two-week period to discover their awareness of and use of CCLC’s five library blogs. This data, in conjunction with statistics from Google Analytics, provided an interesting insight into library users and their interaction with CCLC’s Web 2.0 endeavours.

Abstract
Since July 2006, a group of Australian librarians have co-ordinated the group blog librariesinteract.info (LINT). This blog was created as a forum for professional communication and discussion of change in the Australian library sector. Communication and planning is conducted using a variety of web tools including an email list, instant messaging, collaborative bookmarking and a wiki. This paper compares the experience of the LINT authors with that of other authors of collaborative library blogs, as reported in a survey of the library blogosphere in September 2007.

Abstract
This paper describes the evolution of the new Clinical Librarian role at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and how a website – ‘Evidence Direct’ – became central to that development. The facilities offered on the Evidence Direct website include asynchronous and synchronous communications, live access to Clinical Librarians worldwide, e-learning modules, access to an e-repository, blogs, wikis, and daily news (including RSS feeds), etc. The paper also goes on to describe how the Clinical Librarian role can have an impact upon the wider clinical governance scenario, contributing to the development of institution-wide guidelines and, in the case of RMH, to a new, major event – Evidence Week.

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of three technologies: blogs, RSS and wikis. It gives an introduction to each and explores how they are being used within the library community. RSS is of particular interest to libraries; it provides opportunities for interacting with library users and is already being incorporated into library catalogues and websites. Wikis too show promise for future development.
