#15 On Library 2.0 & Web 2.0 ...

I read all the comments about Web 2.0 and I realise that as librarians we need to make sure that we are up to date with all the new ways of accessing information and the way it is manipulated (Therefore doing this course is very timely). I was interested in the article Into a new librarianship which tells us that we need to plan for users to be able to access the library where ever they are. I feel that people are used to immediate access to all kinds of things are the library will need to match this. Maybe through library blogs or using the library as a centre point where the technology and the users meet would also fill the need. As Michael Stephens says I think that by using some of the new tools and creating useful tools in the library, we are then able to connect with the new type of user.
