week 1

Reading through the articles for Week 1
I found myself thinking about the implications of a web 2.0 world.

First.

It is a critical time for L2 to emerge and take precedence
in the library world.

After perusing a number of the articles it is quite clear that Web 2.0 even if the term itself is rather innocuous is very much at the center of current technology zeitgeist, it is hard to read the news without some content about social software or some content being created through the use of social software. I was asked a number of times at both legal libraries I co-oped with how I thought social software might be used in the library. I suggested that for the type of library we were... ie mostly closed stack legal libraries that the benefits were rather small.
