Week 6, #15 Library 2.0

Well, I read several of the articles that were linked to this exercise. Library 2.0 doesn't really seem that novel to me, but maybe that is because I am relatively young, and definitely young to librarianship. What it basically means is that things are never cast in stone and always changing. You can't wait for things to be perfect. You need to give people what they want and expect or they will go elsewhere. You need to make services user friendly; this means from a user's standpoint and not what a librarian thinks is user friendly. People do not want to be bothered with training to be able to use a library's services, nor do they want to have to read about it as an alternative to training. The hardest thing I think to deal with are the people who don't agree that this should be the way things are to be done.
