THING #15

THE WORLD AND LIBRARY USERS ARE CHANGING AND THE LIBRARY STAFF MUST BE PREPARED AND UP TO SPEED WITH THE NEW TECNOLOGY TO BETTER PROVIDE SERVICES.
AFTER READING THE PERSPECTIVES ON LIBRARY 2.0, I SEE HOW THE LIBRARY SHOULD BE A SOCIAL AND EMOTIONALLY ENGAGING CENTER FOR LEARNING AND EXPERIENCE. MORE THAN JUST OFFERING NEW TOOLS, EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIAL SOFTWARE SHOULD BE AVAILABLE -- NOT FORCED ON PATRONS -- JUST AVAILABLE.
ONCE THE PATRONS BECOME EDUCATED AND KNOW HOW TO MANIPULATE THE TOOLS, THEN THE 2.0 CONCEPT AND LIBRARIES CAN OPEN UP MINDS TO A NEW WORLD.
