Andrea Lynch on MEDLIB-L mentioned that an interesting issue was raised during the class, "Incorporating Web 2.0 Tools into the Research Process: Making the Most of Instruction and Outreach Efforts." The issue was about convincing the hospital's information technology departments about the value and need to access blogs, wikis, and other Web 2.0 tools.

Have you successfully convinced your IT/IS staff at your institution for the need to access these things? If you have Andrea asks that you visit the course blog and provide any advice or strategies that might be of help to other medical librarians.
