Library 2.0 is about keeping current with new technology and social networking software and identifying the most appropriate tools for library staff and patrons. Each library is unique and should reflect the individual needs of its community.
Librarians need to be flexible and learn the skills needed to adapt to the new technological demands of youth, as well as, promote a supportive environment for senior patrons to discover these benefits and changes. Vermont Vermont 23 Things is an excellent tool for librarians to explore and become familiar with this emerging technology.
4.0….after reading Dr. Wendy Schultz in OCLC Newsletter… I like the idea of libraries that combine the old style “conversations and convocations of people” with the new “knowledge spa”.
Fireside chats, a good book, and the world of technology is here.
Librarians, as curious information gathers, will be able to choose what new technology will aid and inspire themselves, their patrons and their communities.
