Thing Two: What is Library 2.0

After viewing and reading the material I think am finally really "getting" what Library 2.0 is - essentially an approach and a perspective on libraries and library services that holds a myriad number of possibilities for library staff and patrons alike. Always having been a proponent of lifelong learning and the notion of continuous learning, I can see now how Library 2.0 fits into these overall goals with benefits for all.

With the committment to learning the problem of finding the time to fit in new skills and technologies becomes easier, it is simply the way to be. The readings in this part of the 23 things journey have really helped with tips and techniques, and also provided time to reflect on what I am reading, what I am currently doing, and what other things I want to incorporate into my professional skills and integrate into services provided in my own library setting.

All this is interesting and exciting and I feel less concerned about the challenges, and more focused on all the possibilites.
