Excerpts from reviews of my publications
Collaboration 2.0 – published by ALA Tech Source
“Collaboration 2.0 is a clear, concise, and easy-to-read introduction to the concepts presented. Hastings looks at Web 2.0 tools from the perspective of someone looking to foster ease of communication and project-based work in libraries. Tools such as Facebook and Delicious, traditionally used for social purposes or personal productivity, take on a new light when viewed through this lens. ” – Cliff Landis
“This is one LTR not to miss!” – Michael Stephens
