: Stephen's LighthouseUser Generated Content and Libraries
How much user generated content do you have on your library site?
It seesm to be a key strategy to engage users and communities.
Check out this posting:
Six out of 10 US Internet users view user-generated content.

It's certainly inexpensive now. The technical barriers in content creation are much lower forthings like online video, podcasts and music recordings. And end users are certainly comfortable with such content tools as blogs, videos, and photo sharing. And when CNN anchors are watching Twitter reactions and their MyFace presence on the air, it's normal.
It seems like it's time for end-user content generation and collection strategies in libraries to be mainstreamed.
As for the ongoing discussion on what to call library users, members, cardholders, patrons, etc., I submit that we should start calling them FANS.
