Library 2.0 and what it means to me:
Job security.
Really.
Oh, I won't be doing exactly what I'm doing today exactly the way I'm doing it, THANK GOODNESS!! But, I will still be needed in this thing we call a library. We all will.
Dr. Wendy Schultz's essay, "To a Temporary Place in Time..." resonated with me. I can see where she's going and I think her vision of the future is pretty good. I have only to look at how my 18 and 21 year old interact via the web to see that. Rick Anderson's, "Away From the 'Icebergs'", offers some concrete ways to not only reach Library 2.0, but go beyond towards Library 3.0.
Reading their words I felt charged, tingley and ready to "ride the wave". I know some in libraryland who just think all of this is the end of the world, but it's not. It's a BIG mind shift, yes, but humans are a very adaptable species. We can do this...and it may even be fun.
