2. What is Web 2.0 & why should I care?

Having read the various articles, including "The Ongoing Revolution" and John Blyberg's "Making the Library Relevant," and the Stephen Abram's video, I better appreciate the volumes of work and effort being made to utilize the latest technology to make the libraries' services readily available to patrons and to make a platform for readers to express themselves and interact with others about books and ideas. It is amazing that all this information and internet sights developed by other libraries can be used to demonstrate and share ideas that other libraries can learn from and utilitize to fit their situation. Living in a small community, we are fortunate to have a library and be part of a regional library system that has recently established a web site. I am sure this site will be continuously improved with the wealth of information available and interest and encouragement from "23 things." From our small vantage point, I feel it would be helpful to acquaint our community members with this sight and offer assistance for them to become familiar with and comfortable with using it regularly.
