WEEK #6 WEB 2.0, LIBRARY 2.0 AND THE FUTURE OF LIBRARIES

I found the articles on Library 2.0 very interesting. I thing Michael Stephens article "Into A New World of Librarianship" very interesting. He says that libraries are human because the library has become a social and emotionally engaging center for learning. It is a far cry from the days when I went to the library and was shushed..............(I just dropped a pencil, and not on purpose I may add). I think that is true whit the enormous amount of programing that goes on at all the branches. A patron can learn anything at the library.

I also read the article "To More Powerful Ways To Cooperate" by Chip Nigles. I like his comment about using the web to reach out to the entire web-not just portions of it. We have to think of everything that the web entails. It keeps changing day to day, minute by minute, second by second!

I thing that this has raised many questions about the extent of knowledge on the Web and how we can obtain that information and that it is always going to change.
