Web 2.0

I read Into a new world of librarianship and Away from the "icebergs" and found the following to engage me the most:

"This librarian recognizes how quickly the world and library users change with advancing technology. Project timelines that stretch on for months simply do not work in Library 2.0 thinking."

"We need to focus our efforts not on teaching research skills but on eliminating the barriers that exist between patrons and the information they need. But if our services can't be used without training, then it's the services that need to be fixed -- not our patrons."
