The articles I have read on this build on a very inspiring paper I attended at this year's LIANZA conference. Roy Tennant from OCLC which is embracing Library 2.0 talked about the importance of presenting infomation and enabling our customers to source information in ways that they use on the web.
We need to acknowledge and quickly embrace Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 and its successors if we are to remain relevant to our customers. Young librarians have a lot to teach not so tehno savvy librarians. Small and often non-urban based libraries are able to offer access to a wider range of information with library 2.0 but are going to need a big hand up to do this. User education which provides a human front to information is where libraries can continue to grow. I look forward to a wonderful ongoing future for libraries.

Great job! It is important to keep up to date with the customers needs! And even though print based learning is still important, print based learning via the internet has also dug its place into our world! Thanks for the insight! :)
