Well, I read the 2 articles on both Web and Library 2.0. I must say they were really long winded but very informative. I like this new move to an more interactive and electronic world. I know some of my co-workers who would cringe and spit if you ever mentioned Google, particularly the Reference librarian who dislikes big changes. But she too is now involved and sees that the web is here to stay. Even if it means less questions asked by real people in person. I personally have dealt heavily with this new wave of research and netsearch. I know for sure whenever the computers are down and we don't have access to the internet people are wondering outside their offices as if the world is ending like a bunch of slack-jawed zombies! How can we operate with out our list-servs and facebook. Someone might miss something!
I became an avid texter about 5 years ago. It is how i connect with the 9-12 students who work for me in circulation. I send one text to all at once. It makes it so simple. I personally like texting because you say what you need without having to have a full conversation. No dead space or lulls. But I digress. The information superhighway is here now and people want answers now, not 5 minutes from now. Our library has been good about keeping our electronic access at least within operating capabilities. :-) I joke, not really. So i have more to say on the matter but I have to go. I shall return, fear not.
