#15 library 2.0

"To a temporary place in time..." by Dr. Wendy Schultz
Starts off talking about what libraries are from the beginning as a place to store information and books and now with the computers as a place to linkup just about any where you are to get information. Library 2.0 I feel is just the beging of things to come and it's a very exciting time. As Wendy Schultz says, "But let’s be clear: Library 4.0 will not replace Libraries 1.0 through 3.0; it will absorb them". We must learn as new things comes along to keep up, so that when the next thing out is here we are ready for it.


11 Reasons Why Library 2.0 Exists and Matters – by John Blyberg
I skip to read this one because I have been into 10 or 11 reasons anything mode lately. In my class we have talked about what the future holds for libraries and where we see them going. My paper was on the fact that technology was the key and the Library 2.0 stuff fit right into it. As the article says it will make the library’s space (virtual and physical) and as Sarah Houghton says it will "make the the library relevant".


To more powerful ways to cooperate by Chip Nilges
Web 2.0 at OCLC will allow users to share info for cataloging and I think that is great as long some rules apply to it. In the article it talks about the services under consideration include tagging, list creation and sharing, citation management, personal cataloging, and the like. This will go a long way in helping libraries with the extensive cataloging process.

All in all I can't wait to see what will come with all this new technology. So far, I have enjoyed learning it.
