Thing # 15

Web 2.0 has the potential to broaden the services of a user centered library by allowing access to materials and services from anywhere they happen to be, work, home, the library, or visiting friends in Nepal. Access to information at the touch of a few buttons or keystrokes is the future for the library environment. Digital preservation, technological advances, and training in new areas then providing all these to users are a few of the "new" duties of the librarian. We are taking steps forward not back and for me this is a welcome change to how we function and interact with users! Bring it on.
