I have embedded a Slideshare presentation at the bottom of my blog that was created for library staff unfamiliar with Web 2.0 tools and it gives some excellent reasons why libraries need to begin using Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, etc. When I was teaching high school years ago, there was a beginning emphasis on using collaboration in the classroom rather the lecture approach. Students coming into the community college system now are used to learning by sharing. I can see slideshare sharing as being another one of those learning tools that encourages students to share their responses with the creator and with each other. It would be interesting for the various community college libraries in our system to upload our database tutorials to one of these sites. That way, not only would we be able to get more interest and some feedback from our own students, but we would be to see and respond to the tutorials produced by our counterparts in other parts of the state.
