How to use Web 2.0 in your library now published
Originally uploaded by Philipbradley.

My new book is now available. It was actually published last week, but I thought I'd wait until I got my copies so I could do a quick photograph. It's available at Facet Publishing for a very reasonable price, or you could get it at Amazon if you wanted to.  There's a page that also provides a pdf of the contents of the book and there is also a companion website for it as well - details in the book.

It was a fun one to write, but also frustrating, because everything (understandably) kept changing and new resources kept coming out that I wanted to write about. Hopefully the website will mean that I can keep it up to date much more easily, and more importantly, since it's a Web 2.0 resource readers will also be able to write, comment, and add to the book. That's actually the bit that I'm looking forward to the most - using the book to create a community, and using the community to add value to the book.

I've said thanks to people in the book, but it's also worth saying here that I'm most appreciative of everyone who took time and effort to help me with the book, the publishing staff at Facet, and the many un-named individuals who provided me with inspiration.

If you decide to get a copy I hope you enjoy reading it!

Congratulations on your book. Writing books about evolving topics is a challenge, but they're also important to do.
