Thanks to EduResources for highlighting an extensive collection of categorized web tools created for school library media specialists by Dr. Donna Baumbach and Dr. Judy Lee, University of Central Florida. The purpose of this wiki is to provide information about some of the new web-based tools (Web 2.0) and how they can be used and are being used by school library media specialists and their students and teachers.

The wiki’s creators assert that much of the information—including identifying a need for this kind of information—is the result of a survey conducted in 2008 of over 600 school library media specialists about their knowledge and use of web-based tools in library media programs.

Because WebTools4U2Use is a wiki, you can add information to any page. The collection’s creators encourage you to add or edit anything that you think will help other library media specialists learn more about Web 2.0 tools and use them creatively and productively in their programs. They’ve also created special pages for each category of tool so you can share other tools or show others how you and your colleagues are using the tools in your programs, or you can use the “discussion” link at the top of any page.
