Thing 2: Library 2.0

Oh my, I have read several of the Library Technology Reports articles in volume 43, issue#5 and I am amazed at the information out there on Library 2.0! As much as I think it is easy to continue helping teachers and students at school with all the things we help them with - researching information, learning how to use reference sources, recommending good books to read, etc. - I definitely see the need to keep up with all the newer technology tools. This is vital for our profession! It makes me wonder how many of my staff at school are blogging and how many have tried some of these other 23 things. I am curious now to start inquiring more with them to see what kind of staff in services I can or need to provide. The library information world is most certainly changing in a BIG way and if I want to keep "with it" I need to plunge ahead and keep myself abreast of what is happening in Library 2.0.
I am very grateful that this was presented at the MEMO midwinter conference to give it a jump start.
