Assignment #15 Web 2.0 and Library 2.0

Libraries are constantly changing. In the perspective on Library 2.0 "Into a new world of librarianship" Michael Stephens talks about libraries and change. He states: "This librarian recognizes how quickly the world and library users change with advancing technology. This librarian understands that the future of libraries will be guided by how users access, consume and create content. Content is a conversation as well and librarians should participate. Users will create their own mash ups, remixes and original expressions and should be able to do so at the library or via the library’s resources." I agree. The library and its staff must continue to adapt and to incorporate new technology so the needs of the patrons can be met.
