Thing #15 - On Library 2.0 & Web 2.0...

Into a new world of librarianship provided me with a new incite into the library 2.0 philosophy. I agree with what the author was saying in that libraries are human. They provide so many services for the public and most importantly, they bring people together. And I think for those of us who not only work in libraries, but also visit them often, there's a real attachment. Library 2.0 is, as the author says, a "“strategy guide” for helping users find information, gather knowledge and create content." And in my opinion, the most important thing accomplished by Library 2.0 is that it keeps us up to date on current trends in technology and services the library can offer to the public instead of us having to play "catch-up" after so many new and useful programs have become available.
