Library 2.0 and Our Role

With Library 2.0 expanding and opening the gates information data; how we gather, tag, bundle, and stream this information will change the old concept of card catalogues and books. This new library will still use librarians to drive, coordinate, and quickly deliver this information. The world of the Internet will now allow immediate access and delivery of everything from meeting times to in depth reference answers. Pod casts on library blogs to explain procedures, You Tube to present videos of library events, and Library Thing to catalogue favorite book lists this is what is now. It's exciting and energizing.
