Reading these articles really spelled out for me what Libraries 2.0 is. With the help of interactive technology, users can participate in the dissemination of information, in the format of their choice.
I especially enjoyed reading the articles from OCLC Next Space Newsletter – Web 2.0: Where will the next generation of the web it take libraries? In the past, I have struggled to see what the future of libraries is - a debate I began hearing about with the rise of AskUsNow! These articles discuss so many possibilities - from having fewing print collections as material is available electronically, to making this electronic information available by providing ipods and laptops to patrons for check out.
Once we finish Learning 2.0, I think it would be great to have a brainstorming session to come up with new ideas and ways (Innovation!) to use some of the Web2.0 technology within the library and on our website, as well as coming up with ways to make sure this information is available to everyone!
