Thing #15 Library 2.0

"Away from the Icebergs" introduced just the tip of the iceberg for libraries to become nearer to a Library 2.0 model. Print materials collections should get smaller because that reflects the circulation as online resources get bigger. Users must be educated in how best to use the resources and they need to get 'friendlier.' Online library resources need to be readily available and easily accessible from anywhere. All of this leads to "Into a world of new librarianship." Librarians have to be technosavy and must be up on new trends and techology. They must be able to evaluate resources and make decisions based on user preference. Many of the tools we've examined through 23 things would be useful to a librarian to help stay current. Especially conversations with other librarians. It's not the same library or the same clientale. It is no longer a slow-moving and stagnant area and librarians and libraries will have to change to stay relevant and useful.
