Library 2.0

Having time, I read all articles. The momentum built up to a crescendo in the Schulz article. But lest I forget some of the messages I record them here:

1. Anderson advised againt teh just in case collection, reliance on user education, and the come to us library model.
2. Stephens outlined the skills of the librarian 2.0 - plans for their users, embraces Web 2.o tools, controls technolust, makes good, fast decsions (use biblioblogosphere), is a trendspotter, and gets content
3. Nilges advises on more powerful ways to cooperate: build new services with Web 2.0 technologies, touch the entire web, collect user intelligence, release lightweight services, and build better data "data is the next Intel inside".
4. Riemer urges better bibliographic services: expose expand extend metadata using web 2.0, package and push metadata, broaden relevance ranking, adopt Web 2.0 features, expand delivery, and streamline metadata creation.
5. Schulz dreams of a future place in society of the library concept, comparing a life of coffee, from coffee beans, to sale of the product, to the marketing of the product, to the serving of the drink, and the total environment of the experience of the coffee drink. She compares it to Library 1.0 - commodity, Library 2.0 - Product, Library 3.0 - service, Library 4.0 - experience. This is a superb concept to explain the evolution of the Library, the ripple effect. We are just continuing on the journey.
