Week 6 continued - I enjoyed Rick Anderson's perspective because I think what he said really rings true. Libraries no longer have a corner on the information market and we have been losing it for quite some time. We now have to position ourselves in a place where our user wants us to be, not where we are comfortable being. We need to venture out into our virtual libraries and bring people into our space. To me Library 2.0 means a lot of things; I think of books no longer sitting on the shelf waiting to be used, the buildings will still be there but they will be a place for people to use computers to access information more than anything. Librarians will spend more time online with virtual customers. They will also create more content online and our users will be more collaborative with us in creating content. There will definitely be more input from the user. Librarians may be able to do a lot more work from home, provided they have a really fast connection. :)
I blog, therefore I am
This is my adventure into learning about Web 2.0. I am thrilled to the marrow as they say and really want to know and learn as much as I can. Ciao!
