Museum libraries serve a patron group with extremely specific research needs and whose discipline largely draws upon more traditional resources. This workshop will show how a team of librarians at The Thomas J. Watson Library of The Metropolitan Museum of Art created a program of instruction tailored to this group of users on Web 2.0 tools. We will demonstrate the steps involved in creating this program including team formation, marketing and follow-up. Our workshop will also look at the consequences and effects of our Web 2.0 instruction throughout the Library and Museum, in addition to lessons learned.

Objectives: By the end of the workshop, participants will

• Learn how to create, market and deliver Web 2.0 instruction to an idiosyncratic audience with niche research interests;
  
• Learn how Web 2.0 tools can be used in a special library and museum;
  
• Learn how library staff can implement and manage 2.0 applications with minimal technical know-how;
  
• Learn how to take ownership of 2.0 and other initiatives using a team-based approach that encourages risk taking and experimentation.
