New Fast Facts: Colorado School Libraries and the Use of Web
Technologies, 2011-2012 Our newest Fast Facts uses data from the
2011-2012 Colorado School Library Survey to assess the degree to
which public school libraries with endorsed librarians use web
technologies. The results indicate that more school libraries
offer basic web technologies (e.g., a website, OPAC) than Web
2.0-related technologies, such as wikis and Facebook.
Additionally, use of these technologies varies in accordance
with the grade level and enrollment of the school served. Middle
schools are most likely to use Web 2.0 technologies, while
school libraries at schools with more than 1,000 students are
most likely to offer most of the technologies noted in the
survey.
