#15 On Library 2.0 & Web 2.0

After reading the first four articles (all by guys, do computers mean that librarianship is moving from a female dominated profession to a male dominated profession?) it was great to get to Dr Wendy Schultz as she still seems to forsee a place for books in Library 2.0. So often people search a catalogue, verify that the book they want is held and are disappointed when it can't be found. In the rush to embrace new technology don't neglect the old and make sure you can deliver what you advertise.
P.S. I appreciated being able to print these articles and read them away from the computer. As well as kids hearing being shot from listening to music at loud volume, staring at a computer screen for long periods probably doesn't do much for their eyesight.
