Library 2.0

Well, what are my thoughts on Library 2.0, Web 2.0 and I just don't know 2.0? Oh my goodness, there's just too much information, thoughts and opinions for a mere mortal to contemplate. I'm a traditionalist, I have a very antiquated vision of a library as a "quiet, restful, soothing place where one can come to to just relax and read. However, I'm not living in Mayberry, so I have to change my vision and keep up with the steady, inexorable advancement of technology. It'll happen whether we support it or not. I guess we have to support it in order to stay current and on the cutting edge of technology so we can reach people all over the world in various ways. People who face health and medical challenges can benefit from the assisted technology of Daisy Readers and audio books that can be downloaded. Technology definitely has it's advantages. It's just a little hard on the grey matter to retain.
