Library 2.0 means to me both the concept and the implementation of change to meet users needs within in a world of rapidly changing technology.This has to happen to keep the library service current and relevant to our users.By undertaking this course, we are exposed to concepts and use of technology which are "Library2.0".
I found the following two quotes revelant from reading the perspectives on Library 2.0:
Michael Stephens wrote : "the Library is human"because it makes the library a social and emotionally engaging center for learning and experience. Librarian 2.0, then, is the “strategy guide” for helping users find information, gather knowledge and create content .
Dr Wendy Schultz wrote:"What are libraries? Libraries are not just collections of documents and books, they are conversations, they are convocations of people, ideas, and artifacts in dynamic exchange. Libraries are not merely in communities, they are communities: they preserve and promote community memories; they provide mentors not only for the exploration of stored memory, but also for the creation of new artifacts of memory.
