WEEK 6 # 15 LIBRARY 2.0 & WEB 2.0

For this exercise I read the perspectives, in more detail: 'Librarianship' and 'Icebergs'. I think is great that Libraries are willing to evolve at the same pace as technology in the Web and are welcoming the same concepts in order to better serve the public. The Google map mash up of local libraries created by Chicago librarians is a great example how we can make a difference in the community of users. On the other hand, I agree that technology should be tested to see if it provides the users with the information they need and seek . As a Library employee, Library 2.0 means to me, an opportunity to learn new web tools in order to advance in my profession, and to offer better customer service to the public.
