Thing 2 - What is Web 2.0?

Blogger John Blyberg describes L2 as a movement, an internal reorganization, a paradigm shift. It will require changes in the library's internal structure and mission. He says to "let go of bygone notions of what library is."

Rick Anderson talks of "user-centric service."

Stephen Abram says in his video that only by using the Web 2.0 tools will we be able to understand them. As for finding the time to learn all the 23 Things, Abram talks of being "addicted to the excitement of learning." I can easily find the time each week to work on a couple Things. I just need to cut down on playing solitaire on the computer every night and reduce my idle news browsing on cnn.com.

Dr. Wendy Schultz's descriptions of Library 3.0 and Library 4.0 (a knowledge spa?) blew my mind.

I have already used several of the 23 Things, but I look forward to learning about all of them and incorporating some more of them into my work and my personal life.
