How do I know? I was notified by the editor, <a href=\"http:\/\/liblogs.albany.edu\/library20\/\" target=\"_blank\">Laura Cohen<\/a>, because I co-authored a chapter in it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m falling-off-my-chair excited!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s actually a bit more than a book. Laura negotiated at the start of the project to create a hybrid book \/ wiki. The wiki component,  <a href=\"http:\/\/acrl.ala.org\/L2Initiatives\/index.php?title=Main_Page\" target=\"_blank\">Library 2.0 Initiatives in Academic Libraries<\/a> , updates the initiatives described for two years after publication.<\/p>\n<p>Margaret Jones, Jean McKay and I wrote about some initiatives taking place at <a href=\"http:\/\/wwwlib.murdoch.edu.au\" target=\"_blank\">Murdoch University Library<\/a>. Our over all theme is that we hadn&#8217;t even heard of Library 2.0 until most of them had happened &#8211; but our parent institutions&#8217; ethos of multidisciplinary participation, equity and experimentation matched Library 2.0 values. Our chapter is called <em>Chat, Commons and Collaboration: inadvertently Library 2.0 in Western Australia <\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The wiki pages for our chapter, <a href=\"http:\/\/acrl.ala.org\/L2Initiatives\/index.php?title=Chapter_2\" target=\"_blank\">Chapter 2<\/a>,  are about 90% complete and choc full of photos, a google map showing the location of our library, a few slidesets and a couple of YouTube clips&#8230;plus some &#8220;what happened after&#8221; text.  Thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/davidsrandomstuff.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">David Free <\/a>for adding the plugins. You can even subscribe to the <a href=\"http:\/\/acrl.ala.org\/L2Initiatives\/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&amp;feed=rss\" target=\"_blank\">RSS feed for changes to the wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know &#8220;what happened before&#8221;&#8230;pop over to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alastore.ala.org\/SiteSolution.taf?_sn=catalog2&amp;_pn=product_detail&amp;_op=2497\" target=\"_blank\">ALA Editions<\/a> and buy the book.
