Week 8 - Thing 16 - Web 2.0

Thinking about library Web2.0 and its implications is on one hand exhilirating, and on the other hand is overwhelming.It opens many new avenues and goes beyond the concept of libraries as collections and librarians as caretakers of those collections.
Our small rural library has been a place for community members to come in and chat, find a new book and talk a little town politics. Few of our patrons are asking for or expecting the kinds of web connections that are discussed in these articles. For me that means I need to take on the role of introducing and promoting other possibilities.
