Library 2.0

I read several of the suggested perspectives and they all seemed to have a common thread. Libraries need to use technology to adapt to the changing needs of their patrons, rather than expect the patrons to stick to traditional means for information gathering.

It is fascinating to think of how some of the sites we have visited over the last few weeks could be used to this end. I never realized how many tools were out there. I have said it a few times, and it is true that much of what we have seen is not practical for my own use, but I am very glad to have seen it and learned a bit about it.

I think the Library 2.0 program allows us to see how much technology is becoming a part of our day to day lives. It allows us to have more of an idea about what our patrons are doing and what their needs are.
