Thing # 15 - Web 2.0, Library 2.o and the Future of Libraries

Each one of these articles was interesting to read and gave me a better understanding of 2.o. I see schools changing to keep up with emerging technology at a rapid pace. I see some who are more advanced and comfortable with technology and others who are not and become overwhelemed. I see some wanting the library as a haven for a quiet place to read and relax, while others like the conversations. Web 2.o is a way to discover and learn new ways to meet the needs of our patrons in order to make learning exciting and something they can relate to. We can help teachers integrate Web 2.0 into their curriculum as well as promote the enjoyment of reading.
