Give this one a read! http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6365200.html The heart of Library 2.0 is user-centered change. It is a model for library service that encourages constant and purposeful change, inviting user participation in the creation of both the physical and the virtual services they want, supported by consistently evaluating services. It also attempts to reach new users and better serve current ones through improved customer-driven offerings. Each component by itself is a step toward better serving our users; however, it is through the combined implementation of all of these that we can reach Library 2.0. While not required, technology can help libraries […]

Academic Library 2.0 Concept Model Detailed Originally uploaded by habibmi. Checkout Michael Habib’s diagram of Academic Library 2.0. I am fascinated by this — even more so now that I am on campus.

http://queequegs.blogspot.com/2006/08/comment-about-culture-of-no.html Erica Reynolds posts about my talk at Northeast Kansas Library System Tech day a couple of weeks ago and the “culture of No:” Many of my colleagues were at NEKLS Tech Day, and they were probably all snickering each time Michael Stephens talked about how important it is to battle the so-called culture of no, because lately, I’ve totally been on the “no” train at work. I’ve had “no” plastered on my laptop, my office door, etc…Because I’ve had to launch a campaign to limit our new projects until we entirely rebuild out Web world from the ground up. […]
DSC01755 Originally uploaded by travelinlibrarian. What do you think? I understand the thinking about funding but if I came in on vacation to use the internet I’d turn and flee for sure! Hopefully, there’s an internet cafe nearby. Update: Michael Sauers posts about the picture he took at the Marshall Public Library in Pocatello, ID! Take a look. He shares some great points. Thanks Michael! Read the comments here as well… they are fascinating. Update 2: The director comments at Michael’s blog: http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5543214&postID=115561108774412256 The policy was put in place because the Marshall Public Library was being used by tourists to […]
Darien Library, one of my favorite L2 examples and site of a recent Roadshow stop, is circulating USB drives! http://www.darienlibrary.org/connections/info-tech/archives/2006/08/extra_usb_drives_to_the_rescue.html We recently purchased five additional high-capacity USB or “flash” drives, making for a total of 10 drives in circulation that may be borrowed free of charge. (These are in addition to the floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs we already have available for sale.) The SanDisk Cruzer drives can each hold up to 512 MB of data, and they come in a sturdy titanium shell that protects your files during transit from the Library to your home or workplace. We invite […]
So…are folks at Sony really getting the “This is where we live” Web 2.0 vibe or what? http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,71559-0.html Hoping to tap into the growth of wireless networks across college campuses, other public spaces and within homes, Sony is introducing a new pocket-sized gadget for instant messaging and other internet-based communications. The Sony mylo, slated for availability in September at a retail price of about $350, is a first-of-its-kind product that uses Wi-Fi networks, analysts say. It is not a cellular phone and thus doesn’t carry monthly service fees. And though it could handle web-based e-mail services, it doesn’t support corporate […]
Have you seen all the folks blogging via PLCMC’s learning 2.0 initiative? Wowza!
http://www.socialcustomer.com/2006/08/the_one_where_j.html Most cool post at the Social Customer Manifesto — including this bit that I couldn’t have said better myself: What does this mean? This means that now, organizations now have these social tools to put the humanity back into business to solve the trust problem. In other words, the organizations that will win are the ones that most easily enable customers to build relationships and communities with people they trust.
