Library 2.0 = Library R/evolution
I’ve been waiting for Michael Wesch, the Kansas State professor who created the viral The Machine Is Us/ing Us and A Vision of Students Today videos, to do one that more directly addresses libraries. Last week he did just that. Hopefully it will help spread David Weinberger’s message from Everything Is Miscellaneous (which you need to read if you haven’t already). Is your library part of this new r/evolution, or are you still facing the future with only a 20th century service orientation?

Loved that video! There are so many facets to the differences between paper searching and data searching I find myself frustrated when trying to explain/describe to those unfamiliar with modern databases/searching/wikis etc. And that’s without considering the ’social’ aspect of a system that is ‘influenced’ by it’s users.
Thanks for sharing it.
