Tom Storey says the embodiment of Web 2.0 principles are simplicity, rich interactivity, user participation, collective intelligence, self-service, novel and remixed content. In a previous post I defined Web 2.0 as anything that invites participation from the global community. I think that as librarians we need to be open to the possibilites that Web 2.0 provide for us.
In Into a New World of Librarianship by Michael Stephens he says we need to embrace these Web 2.0 tools and that this librarian recognizes how services might be enhanced by the Read/Write web and how new services might be born in a climate of collaboration.
I think the future of libraries will revolve around Web 2.0 tools. We will have to listen to the needs of our patrons and shift the way we create our spaces and collections, especially to include the interaction of what the new Web 2.0 will have to offer.Librarians will have to become involved with and engaged in these tools ourselves..
