Thing # 15

I read the 5 perspectives on Library 2.0 and understood most of what was discussed.

Trying to effectively categorize all the information provided by all the users of Web 2.0 so that
a "librarian" could pull out the right piece of information that a library user asks for - what kind of system could be developed to do that? Or, is the system being developed already, examples of which we are being exposed to as we do these "23 Things?" Or, is the "user" of the library going to have equal expertise as the "librarian?" Or, are these questions based on old way of doing library business? The library as an institution will no longer be considered the expert on how to get information but rather the facilitator to helping each person go from the point at which he is in his search for information (Point A) to the point he desires to be (Point B.)

To me, Library 2.0 means that my granddaughter Isabella will be taking me to the library of the future and showing me how to use the library's services!
