US info pros plug into Web 2.0 computing
Laura Smith
A survey into the technology use of information professionals in the US has revealed that Web 2.0 resources are fast catching up with more traditional internet-based sources.
The research by legal and business information aggregator LexisNexis found that nearly four in 10 information professionals accessed blogs on a weekly basis and more than a third used wikis.
News and company websites were still the most used internet resource, however, with 92% and 93% respectively of those surveyed visiting them on at least a weekly basis. Some of the "new generation" tools are rarely used, though, with only 16% and 15% accessing video and audio podcasts respectively.
The research also found that those surveyed made good use of intranets for managing and distributing information, with up to 60% seeing collaborative and wireless workspaces as "very important" for the future.
