Week 6, Thing 15
In this assignment we were to read two or three of the perspectives on Library 2.0. I first chose "To Better Bibliographic Services" but I had a little trouble following it. I then went to the Wikipedia--Library 2.0 to get a better handle on things. That article mentioned Michael Casey and his blog LibraryCrunch which I read. It was easier for me to understand. I'm still a little overwhelmed with everything out there in the blogosphere (or whatever it's called).
I read the article "Into a New World of Librarianship" which gave me some more ideas of what we have in store.
What does it all mean to me? I'm sure it will be more and more clear the further I get. Bicycles were hard to ride at first and now riding seems second nature. Holding a mouse (computer mouse) seemed strange at first but now it seems just an extension of my arm. I would like to think that all the work each library does is not done in isolation and that we can all benefit from other's contributions. Technology is another tool to spread information, and what a way to go!
