Library 2.0

After reading some perspectives on Library 2.0 I felt so optimistic about our future. I think that there is a perception that the library will be phased out as more material becomes available on line and that the computer will rule. But it's really about how we shape the information....like sculptors with amorphous clay....I see morphing claymation figures (think "Wallace and Gromit"). And it's not all about us librarians. Everyone is empowered, everyone has a perspective, everyone has a say.

And I really could relate to the "retreat space for thought leaders". I am nestling into that leather chair right now.....Bring on those "sensory treats".....I can't wait.
