Review
"This guide aimed at those working in archives, special collections departments, historical societies, public libraries, and museums explains how these organizations can use social media to share their activities and archival and manuscript collections on the internet." --SciTech Book News, May 2010
"Given that this is the first book to address the topic of Web 2.0 and archives, this is where Theimer truly delivers--one of the greatest values of this book is its practicality and applicability in one's daily work. She effectively provides a roadmap for evaluating, implementing, and managing Web 2.0 services in an archival setting; as such, this book would make a useful addition to an archivist's or institution's library." --The American Archivist, Spring/Summer 2011
"Theimer's efforts are to be commended. Her enthusiasm for the subject shines through and the resulting work will certainly go a long way to close the gap in our field between the technology and our collective knowledge about how to implement it." --Journal for the Society of North Carolina Archivists, Fall 2010
"Striking a balance is key, and this work provides a great launching point for not only background information on the tools available, nit a case-study approach on how to implement them. Valuable not only for those looking to gain knowledge of what tools are available…this work may also be a stepping stone to getting institutional buy-in that many are seeking." --AASLH History News, Winter 2011
"This book does a very good job of reviewing the well-known tools for social networking, user-to-user collaboration, user customization and personalization, and automated updating and notification for improved and easier access to archival and historical library collections." --Catholic Library World, March 2011

Her step-by-step style is easily accessible, and the examples give even an experienced professional new uses for standard tools." --Archival Issues, 2011
