Library 2.0...What it means to me...What stood out for me in reading these 5 perspectives is accepting the fact that the time has come where we need to focus on finding new ways to bring services TO patrons rather than them coming to us. In other words, it has become the library's responsibility to find ways to provide their services mainly through the Web. Convenience of access is what's going to win. Patrons are beginning to physically take the easier, most accessable way to find information and that seems to be sitting at a computer, clicking buttons to get the info they need. As one of the articles stated, we as a library, must humble ourselves and accept that this is the way technology has advanced us. I can't say that I agree with this but it is happening and will continue to happen.
