Thing 2 cont.  

Wednesday, February 13, 2008

I'm back to talk about what I think about Libraray 2.0. There really isn't much to say...Library 2.0 is important. There is no questioning how much libraries can do. The sad thing is that so many libraries are doing nothing in the 2.0 world. First of all, and I don't even think this is even really related to Lib 2.0, but a library's website is so important. I have seen so many horrible websites it just breaks my heart. In this day and age, it it not that difficult to hire someone, or find someone who already works at your library, to create a website that is functional, user friendly, and pleasing to the eye. That last one is what some systems seem to have a problem with. It is the age of the internet and people will not take you as seriously without a really great website.

Only once the great website is in place can libraries really begin to get involved and get their library customers involved in making an inclusive environment with Lib 2.0.

That said, I am now ready to learn about all these fun "things" so I can become part of the process of making the future of libraries an interactive world.

    It is hard to believe that there are still some libraries who are not part of the 2.0 world. I think that as time goes on though they will learn that it is only a choice in terms of sink or swim. Also, there are so many cool website building sites on the internet, there is really no excuse not to have an awesome site.
