Web 2.0 articles...I liked the analogy of the icebergs, because if we don't forge ahead with technology we are like the Titantic merrily rolling along until bang! we are sinking. It's a waste of space to keep things in case they are needed if they are accessible online. Patrons want to find resources online.
RSS feeds allows delivery to patrons' work places. Data can be customized. As librarians, we worry about the authority and content. Librarians need to trust users and staff to prepare for blogs, wikis, Flicker, IM and Facebook. These are all technologies younger patrons use and expect the rest of the world to use to communicate. We need to be a part of this global collaboration or we will sink.
Hopefully I will be on to three soon and not take so long in doing Things.
