The concept of Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 have given me much pause for thought since I attended by first NEFLIN workshop on these subjects, a couple of years ago. At first I was interested in the concepts but saw little or no practical applications in our library system. But things do change and I guess it's all about change and adaptability.
Even though there are still some "Things" that may not apply to our smaller rural system, there are many that are not only applicable but are already in use by staff. The next step will be to decide what we can use effectively to create interaction between our library and our patrons.
As stated in one of our "readings", the greatest obstacle to overcome is the on going resistance to change and the inability of some library staff to recognize the need and importance of some Things Library 2.0.
