Yesterday, I spent three hours with some cool folks from around the Metropolitan Library System talking about Library 2.0. It was a great group and the session had a “workshop” feel – the perfect way to get ready for similar talks in Minnesota this May.

I’m using Darlene’s definition in one section, and she expanded on her thinking about “radical trust” here: http://library.usask.ca/~fichter/blog_on_the_side/2006/04/web-2.html We can only build emergent systems if we have radical trust.
