How exciting it is to be a librarian in this age of technological and informational revolution! What 2.0 means to me...
1. It means the library as a network of people sharing, using, creating, manipulating information. The library is not necessarily about physical space.
2. It means collaboration. Not just collaboration among library professionals to make information more accessible to patrons, but collaboration between library professionals and patrons and among patrons themselves.
3. It means continual re-evaluation of the information needs we information users have and the information tools we have, and adapting our methodology. It is constant evolution.
4. It means the librarian as innovator and integration specialist, a person who can take new technologies and create ways for them to improve the way we find and manage information, and therefore, the way we live.
