Web 2.0

Well...

To prepare to remain relevant for a wired society I agree with some pundits in several ways :

-need to make it all easier eg, can't we have shockwave more easily loaded for Rosetta Stone users in the library ? Had a torturous discussion today with a patron wanting to get into downloading audio books; so involved.

- opportunity to become educators. There is a shift from finding good info to using that info in the best ways. How about some Social Network classes or offering a version of Library 2.0 for the public. This is a shift back to the future where librarians see themselves as educators- a move I welcome!

-a knowledge spa sounds nice. I applaud the eco film series at N Bend for being relevant. Certainly there will be a wiki created for participants to share their later ideas of how the community can remain active and informed, followed by a Google Doc site for a shared authored manifesto or pamphelet.
