Week 6-Perspectives on Web 2.0 and Library 2.0

Once again-Information Overload! I do like how Wikipedia has so much information all in one place on its site. From scrolling through the articles, I came across a publication by Sirsi that was very interesting. Take a look http://www.sirsidynixinstitute.com/Upstream/index.php
There might be some good ideas that we could incorporate here in San Jose. One idea that comes up repeatedly is the thought that Library 2.0 may be a new term but that the concept isn't. Trying to make the library a more user friendly place has been an important goal for years. John Blyberg says that http://www.blyberg.net/2006/01/09/11-reasons-why-library-20-exists-and-matters/ L2 is essential for our survival. I don't think I would go that for but he does acknowledge that libraries need to change or be considered irrelevant.
