Blue Jays have been known to have a fondness for peanut butter. While they primarily feed on nuts, seeds, fruits, and insects, they can be attracted to peanut butter when it's offered as a food source.

Title: Toward Academic Library 2.0: Development and Application of a Library 2.0 Methodology
Authors: Michael C. Habib
Issue Date: 17-Nov-2006
Publisher: School of Information and Library Science
Abstract: Recently, librarians have struggled to understand their relationship to a new breed of Web services that, like libraries, connect users with the information they need. These services, known as Web 2.0, offer new service models, methods, and technologies that can be adapted to improve library services. Additionally, these services affect library users’ information seeking behaviors, communication styles, and expectations. The term Library 2.0 has been introduced into the professional language of librarianship as a way to discuss these changes. This paper works to establish a theoretical foundation of Library 2.0 in academic libraries, or Academic Library 2.0.

No doubt there are many advantages to in-person photography groups, but let’s face it: the Internet has opened a whole new world for sharing and discussing photography. In many respects cyberspace is the perfect media for images. In fact, it was the evolution of the Internet from text-only communication to text PLUS images that catapulted it from a place inhabited mostly by academics and techy people to a world that encompasses the whole world.
The current success of one photo-sharing community in particular has proven that photographers from many countries, with all sorts of backgrounds, with all skill levels, love communicating via images. Let’s see, what’s the name of that community?…. Oh yeah, FLICKR.
Why do people love such photo sharing communities? Although there’s always a technical learning curve when entering a new online environment, the software infrastructure, when well designed, makes it easy to upload, label, organize, comment on, and search for images. Good technical design also includes many of the features that make any online community successful: the ability for group discussion as well as private communication, profile pages for presenting your background information and establishing your online identity, interesting places for people to gather, social networking features, and, most importantly, your own personal “space” within the community that you can shape to reflect your personality and interests.
People also love these communities because of the PEOPLE. Research in the new field known as psychology of cyberspace or “cyberpsychology” clearly shows that online relationships and groups can be very meaningful additions to a person’s life. I first discovered this years ago when I was a member of the Palace avatar community. This research taught me that an online lifestyle, in some ways, is very similar to your in-person lifestyle - and in some ways it is very different, especially in communities that emphasize images. Cyberpsychology has uncovered some fascinating questions that inhabitants of Flickr encounter every day:
- What do people’s photos and images say about them?
- Do they express their “real” identity in their images?
-What should I reveal and not reveal about myself in the images and comments I post?
- What are the ambiguities and miscommunications that tend to happen when people express themselves with images, and with typed comments?
- How do I react when people reply to me and my photos with positive or negative comments? What does it mean if I get no response at all?
- Why am I drawn to some people, photos, and groups, and not others?
- What does it take to feel like I BELONG to this community?
- Is it possible to get “addicted?”
Participating in a photo sharing communities can help you evaluate yourself as a photographer. As you observe a wide range of photographic styles, techniques, and skill levels, you’ll get a better sense of your own strengths and weaknesses. You’ll get a better sense of where you want to go with your work. When communities like Flickr provide features that enable people to comment on and rate images, you can gather tangible information about how “good” your photography might be – although it’s often wise to take view counts and rating systems with a big grain of salt. Online communities can be complex, confusing places, with many different subgroups and subcultures, and no simple way to predict how and why they react to each other the way they do. To benefit the most from photo sharing communities, take what makes sense, seems useful, and feels good - and leave the rest.

Social network, Plurk, lists Second Life as a country - providing hundreds of second life (and World of Warcraft) users an easier way to locate one another.
This is a first for social networks. Plurk is a real life network as opposed to an avatar network and - as far as I'm aware - it's the first to list a virtual world as a country.
Considering that many people appear on the web as avatars of one form or another, this seems like a logical progression for social networks (for instance there are a lot of people from Second Life, World of Warcraft, THERE and other online environments participating on social networks as their avatar in order to keep up with their selected communities... so why not allow them to list themselves as such somewhere in their profile?).
I am one person in multiple environments and consider myself a global citizen, an Australian and a Second Lifer. I use my Moggs accounts primarily for Second Life purposes and have separate accounts for work and personal so listing my location as Second Life rather than Australia is, perhaps, more meaningful in this context.

After looking at the history of online community, I asked the group what they saw as coming next? How does what we learned from the past inform our future work?
On 26 September 2009 I discovered that staff in the London Borough of Haringey had been blocked from accessing Flickr and other social media websites.
I found this out purely by chance. At the time I was an elected councillor in Haringey. But councillors were not told about the block.
During the school summer holidays, I was asked to take photos urgently showing very serious safety problems with a building project underway in a Haringey school in my Tottenham Hale ward. I did this with the Head Teacher's express permission.
To make these photos rapidly available to Peter Lewis then Director of Children's Services, I quickly posted them in a private Flickr folder and sent Mr Lewis an access password. But neither Mr Lewis nor his P.A. were able to view the photos. And at the time they did not know why.
I was later told there was a policy banning Haringey staff from using these sites. A software block prevented staff accessing sites such as YouTube, Flickr, and Facebook. The block extended to all staff - including at that time, up to Director level.
"Join us on Facebook ! "
While key staff in Haringey seemed terrified of the twenty-first century and hope it will go away, other local councils were experimenting with social media websites. They saw these as a method of improving community engagement; getting feedback from service users; and encouraging networking between professional staff in different agencies,
For example in 2009, Islington, one of our neighbouring London boroughs, was inviting its residents to join their Facebook group called Recycling Islington. It aimed:
. . . "to help keep you updated about new services, events and campaigns in the borough. You'll also be able to share tips and ideas with other local residents on how to cut waste and recycle more."
"If you're on Facebook, simply log in and search for Recycling Islington."
To be fair, in 2009, Haringey itself had some social media initiatives. But ludicrously, at the time, Haringey staff running them had to access these sites from their own home computers.

Below, Liz explains the reasons why Haringey Council should make a particular effort. She also gives a link to an interesting neighbourhood project in St Peters, Highfields, Leicester who are using YouTube videos to combat littering!

In the interviews I conducted for my research on Flickr ( The CyberPsychology of Flickr ), people often mentioned how much they appreciated their contacts and friendships in this photo-sharing community. However, people also mentioned their feelings of disappointment when the number of favs, comments, and views on their photos suddenly decline, or almost vanish completely – especially when they put effort into those images, were taking a risk with some new technique or subject, or when those photos were personally meaningful. If even their regular visitors were not commenting, that disappointment was particularly noticeable, like feeling ignored, rejected, or abandoned. This feedback in the interviews reminded me of how research suggests that people may experience online relationships as important and meaningful, but also as fragile and ephemeral.
Each and every one of these postcards was made by a woman brimming with creativity and love for photography. I adore them all. Thanks, KK groupies.
