Nice post at the Read/Write Web by Richard McManus that picked up on Michael Casey’s post and the Web Panels’ thoughts. In all this arguing over the value or otherwise of the Web 2.0 meme, I’ve almost lost track of what is really important – how Web 2.0 ideas are being implemented in The Real World. I came across a great post by Michael Casey of LibraryCrunch, who is investigating what the Library 2.0 Web site will look like. He pointed to Michael Stephens’ round-up of responses to that question, which are well worth perusing. I liked this one from […]

The group assembled for the first presentation of the Public Libraries and Technology Track at Internet Librarian 2005 totally rock. If you are attending the conference, don’t miss this one because hot trends in web design apply to all types of libraries! In addition, the topic of web redesign is HOT right now. This press release points out some fascinating statistics. In planning for the presentation, I emailed the panelists a question. Because Michael Casey’s Library Crunch (add him to your aggregator now, I’ll wait) is one of my favorite reads these days, I asked the panelists this question: What […]
