good food for thought:
here is where we are and were we have been;
here is the likely direction in which we are going;
here is the impact of the likely futer on libraries, library service, and library users;
and
here is how we should organize ourselves and run out libraries to respond to the challenges of change.
"Tools for Use" is another good article That I read today. It is in the Library Technology Reports January 2008 issue. At the ebscohost.com site. My exploration with Stick 2 continues.

“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.” Which is Sarah Houghton's definition of L2.


start with a Walt Crawford’s cautionary Perspective: Library 2.0 and “Library 2.0.” At 32 pages, it is a hefty read - but well worth it.
Meredith Farkas took a look at “Label 2.0.” […]
Ok, so in reading the Library Technology Report Vol. 43 Issue 5 of 2007 it states, "Silicon Valley consultatnts call it Web 2.0 as if it were a new version of some old software. But it's really a revolution.
Check out teh Web 2.0 video, "Web 2.0... The Machine Is Us/ing Us" By Michael Wesch, professor at Kansas State University. It is a 4 min 31 sec video that plays 'with hypertext-linking, making connections, and illustrating perfectly the human aspect of Web 2.0: connections, conversations, presence, and feeling.'
Forever more things to check on. I wish we could copy and paste from PDF files. See "What Do Conversations, Wireless & Personal Connections Have in Common... with Libraries?" Bibliodox, July 21, 2007, Http://biliodox.blogspot.com/2007/07/what-do-conversations-wireless-personal.html Check it out.
Darlene Fichter's definition of Library 2.0: Library 2.0 = (books 'n stuff+ people+radical trust X participation(to the 5th power)
Participation by staff
Participation by users
Participation by those within our system

Trust and Participation are key in the shift to Library 2.0. Trust drives Change is a key thought for social computing.
Great guidelines for a library blog: Keep it factual, simple, direct and about library related business.
These are a summary of my notes and findings after 2 hours of exploration. I feel I have only touched this lesson 25% toward being done.
For tonight, however, I must me done. Sorry I know it is hard to comment on my findings. I will next time report on some of the links.
