Web 2.0, Library 2.0 and the future of libraries
Tonight I read a few perspectives on Web 2.0, Libary 2.0 and the future of libraries, which I agree that libraries need to get with the times. I feel that the future is "The Web" and that the libraries that have access to the web and help patrons learn how to use the web for whatever the patron is trying to accomplish, whether it be information for research, fun and games, blogging, getting their information out there for others to find, music, videos, or whatever the task may be, those institutions will prosper and grow. Change is inevitable and usually for the better. The library needs to change with the times to keep up with new technology. I also feel that the libary should still have the traditional resources that people come to the library for such as: books, movies, cd's, reference material, video tapes, etc., not everyone uses the internet.
