Method 1 & Method 2

My thoughts about the beginning of learning all about Web 2.0 and Library 2.0.

We live in an invigorating technologically advancing time. So many technology practices and devices have been discovered, created and implimented into our educational and even our daily lives.

I agree with Stephen Abram when he expresses the thought that librarians must find the time for this priority. This new time of technology advances must be experienced by librarians so that they basically can keep up with these advanced times that are occuring. Librarians need this experience in order to be able to teach and guide others in their learning of these new advances.

Much data and information is being gathered, used and shared. We as librarians must change the way we think as technology changes in order to be up and connected to the world of technology that we live in.Our role must change to facilitator and guide as opposed to the more traditional roles of librarians who's role was or still is to store and house information in a big room. Our libraries have to shift to a more experienced based library where patrons gather, collaborate and communicate with other user created information.

Patrons are learning much differently these days and so we must learn to teach differently. As librarians we must provide a library that is to be a hub of these different ways of learning.
