My thoughts on Web 2.0 as of November 3:
It seems to me that “2.0” is simply a natural progression from what we’re calling 1.0. Why are we using all this jargon? Sometimes I think we make things more complicated than they really are in order to feel like we’re on the cutting edge. Technology always evolves, and the bottom line is that we, as librarians and as consumers, always do evolve with it sooner or later.
I’m not sure I understand what we mean by “library users shaping services” in relation to Library 2.0. I feel like our services have always been shaped by our customers’ perceived needs and actual requests, at least as far as our budget will allow. Are we just talking about customers feeling like they are contributing? Is this feeling intensified if it’s electronically-oriented?
