Many major American academic institutions are mid-stream in fully embracing Web 2.0 technologies for their students, faculty and staff but the University of California-Berkeley could be leading the pack in this digital migration. At librarian conferences, fully one-half of the featured speakers discuss how the current generation of academic librarians must adapt library and online services to meet the needs of the “always online, 20-something” Millenium generation (also known as Generation Y). The following links are good evidence that a specific technological embrace has been implemented by this campus: first, check out the UC-Berkeley YouTube site.
- UC-Berkeley Videos
- Lecture Playlists from UC-Berkeley
- UC-Berkeley Events
- Cal Sports Events
- UC-Berkeley Campus Life (Wow… the promotional campus video has 1,176,547 views).

Three other sites worth a look: UC-Berkeley NewsCenter, UC-Berkeley i-Tunes site – get podcasts of lectures here – and UC-Berkeley Events-Calendar, a beautifully rendered site.
