#15 library 2.0

Lots of intersting ideas - and good for anyone wondering why we are learning about web 2.0. The readings for this week really highlight why we are all learning about this and the impact it can have on our library service.
I found some good points in Into a new world of librarianship http://www.oclc.org/nextspace/002/3.htm He highlights how important it is for libraries to be user centred.
Here are some of the points about web/library/librarianship 2.0 that stood out to me

• Involves users from the get go in planning and launching services based on their needs.
• This librarian does not buy technology for the sake of technology.
• This librarian recognizes how quickly the world and library users change with advancing technology. Project timelines that stretch on for months simply do not work in Library 2.0 thinking.
