#15 Library 2.0

In my role as a Branch Librarian, I find it interesting to see Library Services evolving and embracing the social computing software of the Web 2.0 space. Library Managers will need to be prepared for their users to comment, discuss, rate and link, both with other users and with library staff about the resources and services that libraries offer.
2.0 is very social. 2.0 is super interactive. 2.0 connects people.

Coping with all the "New Stuff" a bit of a stretch at the moment for Librarians and Library services. My own feelings are that we have lost some of the magical momentum that we had when public libraries were leading the way.Library services embracing the wonderful resources of the Internet by providing excellent training courses and sharing our searching skills.
Now we need the time and the resources to regain our lead.
