The Institute of Information Studies of Tallinn University has a long history in using ICT in its teaching and learning. Experiences with open and distance learning and e\u2010learning have transformed teaching and learning, provided new alternative delivery modes, and helped to reach new target groups. Recently the staff have been experimenting with Web 2.0 technologies and a few have successfully adopted them in teaching and learning.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The paper suggests that in order to be successful in our modern society LIS educators should take advantage of new ICT and consider the learning preferences of digital natives as well as digital immigrants. Web 2.0 supports constructivist approaches to learning and has great potential to socialise online learning to a greater extent than we have previously seen. Web 2.0 technologies should be implemented taking into account pedagogical perspectives.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>This paper supports the idea that integration of information and communication technologies, including Web 2.0 technologies, into LIS education is an important challenge for LIS educators.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/00330330810892677","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,16]],"date-time":"2008-08-16T07:25:08Z","timestamp":1218871508000},"page":"262-274","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Use of Web 2.0 technologies in LIS education: experiences at Tallinn University, Estonia"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Sirje","family":"Virkus","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022021320172089800_b1","unstructured":"Alexander, B.
