Icebergs

librarianship

time
Wikipedia - Article on Library 2.0 with great references
A Librarian's 2.0 Manifesto
Discovery Exercise:
Read two or three of the perspectives on Library 2.0 from the list above.
Create a blog post about your thoughts on any one of these. Library 2.0 - it's many things to many people. What does it mean to you?


I read through all of the perspectives on Library 2.0. The one thing that I know to be true in life is that things change. The only way that we can be successful is to learn about the tools and technology of the future, and use them to benefit our system. Just think what libraries be like today if we did not embrace computers?
