Thing Number Fifteen: On Library 2.0 & Web 2.0

Dr. Wendy's comments on Web 2.0 - Where will it take libraries --- a library's "product to service experience" is well worth pondering. She views Library 2.0 as a "product" where we can download digital books etc. Her view of Library 3.0... I will not say are we there yet :) but we might be there sooner than you realize and Dr. Wendy believes at this point we are a "service". A must read!

In many ways she seems to be right on track, yet I need to interject that I believe we at all .s (points) to be service oriented. This is not at all in disagreement with Dr. Wendy but in pointing out whether we are Library 1.0 through Library 4.0 or Library 5.0 , i hope I am alive to see this one!

It will be an interesting future time... and the DeLorean has brought us Back to the Future at least one more time!

I Have Great Faith in a Seed

Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.-
