Thing#2 Library 2.0

Haven't heard of Library 2.0
copied this from the Blyberg blog

“Library 2.0 simply means making your library’s space (virtual and physical) more interactive, collaborative, and driven by community needs. Examples of where to start include blogs, gaming nights for teens, and collaborative photo sites. The basic drive is to get people back into the library by making the library relevant to what they want and need in their daily lives…to make the library a destination and not an afterthought.”

Not clear in how in applies at our library. I haven't finished the reading yet for this week, so maybe i'll learn more.

"L2 is about being relevant. "
"What do libraries need to rethink?"

So maybe you don't keep doing things because you've always done them. Maybe you rethink the collection. Really weeding it down.

One of the readings said that if an online service can't be used without training then the service needs to be fixed. he pointed to stuff like this blog where it's user friendly enough that people use it without training. That's certainly something to think about.

Oh, and I added a better avatar!
