A critical examination of Web 2.0 tools used in special collections, archives, and museums, with an emphasis on using interactive technology to create and preserve content.
Based on surveys and firsthand research across the archivist's profession, Special Collections 2.0: New Technologies for Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Archival Collections offers essential advice and practical ideas for creating, collecting, and preserving born-digital materials for optimal long-term access--using the best of what the new Web has to offer.
Special Collections 2.0 surveys the web's new options for interconnectivity and interactivity tool by tool, exploring the benefits and shortcomings of applying each to the special collection and archives profession. It combines expert analysis of the pros and cons of Web 2.0 with numerous reports of how wikis, blogs, photosharing, social networks, and more are already being put to work in this essential field. Creators, researchers, and caretakers of the historic record--even those anxious about using the Internet--will understand the best ways to put Web 2.0 to work in the service of our cultural heritage.
Includes bibliographical references and index.

Library Journal Review
This is not a how-to manual for working with digital records but instead provides a good conceptual overview of the impact these applications have on special collections. Whittaker (head, special collections cataloging, Ohio State Univ.) and Thomas (head, rare books & special collections, Northern Illinois Univ.) partner here to promote the use of Web 2.0 applications and technologies within the cultural heritage communities of libraries, archives, and museums. The work provides insight on and examples of how institutions can use a wide variety of 2.0 applications for internal work processes and to promote their collections to a wider public. Chapters devoted to the opportunities and challenges these technologies present to collection description and access, preservation, copyright, and use are particularly thought-provoking. The greatest disappointment of the work is that the impact of these technologies on collection development is never given an in-depth examination. Verdict Recommended as professional literature for special collections professionals.-Kate Farley, Armstrong Atlantic State Univ. Lib., Savannah, GA (c) Copyright 2010.
