#15 Read a few perspectives on Web 2.0, Library 2.0 & the future of libraries

Discovery Resources:
OCLC Next Space Newsletter – Web 2.0: Where will the next generation of the web it take libraries?
Five Perspectives:Away from IcebergsInto a new world of librarianship
To more powerful ways to cooperate
To better bibliographic services
Wikipedia – Library 2.0Library 2.0 Discussions (list of great references from Wikipedia)

I read these articles very quickly. They were most interesting. To a temporary place in time gave me hope that what we know as a library will not necessarily die but just change drastically to be more and more like a comfortable place away from home with many ammenities. It is now, but more is to come. It was interesting to hear the ways Web 2.0 will be used to build better services by such people as the Vice President of New Services of OCLC.
