Due to the technological needs of libraries becoming more sophisticated, there is an increased demand for libraries to deliver the most accurate and up-to-date resources in a wide array of formats. Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 offers patrons tools which focus on interactivity and technological advances in the digital world. The ability of these two tools to operate together is intriguing. This experience will enable them to pursue lifelong learning and succeed in reaching their goals.
I was inspired by Stephen Abram’s video, “Stephen Abram launches Murdoch University’s 23 Things”, and the article "Social Libraries." His concept of “empowering yourself to learn something new everyday, and to “reflect on what we’re learning” is beneficial to helping librarians expand their programming efforts to their patrons. I like his advice on setting priorities and committing time to reach these priorities.
In Beth Evans article “Library 2.0: The Consumer as Producer”, I was intrigued by her concept libraries can give the public a more vested interest in the library by involving them with content creation.
