Library 2.0

Sure seems like librarians have been really busy for the last few years! I say we have done a remarkable job keeping up with the technological changes we have faced. We have gone (in my library career anyway) from using a card catalog and microfiche lists of subject and author headings to where we are today. And we have done this with most of us having no formal training in computers. Some folks are relunclent to see us decrease those huge reference collections and have cows over us not having NADA on the reference shelves (retired librarians are the best examples) I happen to think it's been a wonderful thing for us all. The information is so much easier for librarians and patron. Library 2.0 is simply another example of how important we are to the world!!
