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? What does it mean for school libraries?
To me Library 2.0 is as abstract, yet distinctive, as Web 2.0. Library 2.0 is about tearing down traditional boundaries and creating open lines of discourse. For school libraries, it is taking the library beyond the the walls and beyond the school hours, allowing library services to be available at the patron's convenience.
In today's culture we want everything immediately at our fingertips, and Library 2.0 does just that.
Library 2.0 definitely takes the traditional library and pushes the boundaries past the walls of the building it is contained in. As "Information Specialists", it is our job to help our "customers" find information in the most current and relevant ways. This is definitely becoming more focused on the technology aspect, so keeping up with the many changes will be a part of our job from now on!
