library 2.0

some of the topic of reading about library 2.0 also lead me to thinking about the 23rd task.
for me, library 2.0 seems to be about 2-3 things. development, access and communication.

development and library2.0 refers to the accommodation and incorporation of new technologies, particularly some of the web based applications we've been looking at, into the everyday work practices of libraries. Of course there are issues stemming from that, but libraries have changed as technology has changed...(mostly. the issue of $$$ does come into things). it's what societies have done too. (generally) societies, technology and cultures adapt and change. for the library, it's another avenue to information. this then leads to talking about communication and access.

library 2.0 creates new avenues for people to access information and it's a way libraries can communicate with communicate. library staff with other library staff, the library with staff and students, and in a format that the new students increasingly use and think of as a normal way of communicating.

i was going to say maybe it's not about development, but about change. maybe it's less about the development of the technology, but about how we deal with the change.
