Web 2.0 Library 2.0

Goodness how libraries have advanced certainly since I started 21 years ago - remember the old card catalogue - boy how did we keep track of those wayward patrons!!! The expansion of electronic data sources has mushroomed - we are hearing all sorts of foreign catch phrases that would have been like a foreign language 10 years ago. But never fear the trusted book will never disappear and will always be a winner with a good majority of patrons. Digital technology has certainly changed the way we learn, think, work and relax. I really did enjoy the "Away from the icebergs" article. Patrons now expect access to everything and libraries must acknowledge and adapt to a cyberspace marketplace. I think that North Shore Libraries are certainly on the right track and are more than ready to meet the demands that are required by a good many of our library users.
