Library 2.0

I have only just begun to grapple with the fact that the library, as I have known it for my lifetime and for a 36 year career (in school libraries), is changing. My best guess as to what Library 2.0 is about is that it equates to continual change or evolution. What we will end up with, who knows. We seem to be chasing after every new technological invention. It is mind boggling to say the least. The notion that we should be in touch with the whole world through blogging is difficult. As with every new idea that comes along, there is a marketer out there just waiting to make a fast buck. It seems funny that in this day and age of more communication tools it is becoming more difficult to talk to a real person without playing tag (oops! Tag has many meanings now). I just hope that technology doesn't dehumanize society for future generations. Oh, the angst that change brings!
