Library 2.0 & Web 2.0

I think we're just dipping our toes in the water with Library 2.0 - the potential is vast and the challenge is to find the time and space to get creative in the midst of keeping up with the routine stuff. I think we've twigged the changes we've coped so admirably with thus far are just the beginning - and we know we can do it so exciting times ahead. Love the idea that there is always something new (both to learn and to incorporate into how we do things). Have mentioned previously the potential of wikis and blogs - lots of scope for collaboration and interaction. There are increasing numbers of avenues for accessing what libraries have ranging from face to face to online.
Like the idea in Jack Maness' article about seeing a library as a social network in itself - we have always been a place of community so Lib 2.0 adds a new dimension to this
