Thing # 10 - Web 2.0 and Libraries

I agree with many of the perspectives listed on this page. I will touch base on the one titled 'Into a new world of librarianship'. I agree with what this article states. The times are a-changing!.. and libraries need to change as well. The world is more fast paced, people expect more access to things 24/7, and information is more easily accessible. If libraries want to stay a priority (or need) of people nowadays, they have to meet their needs and expectations. Online catalog access, Facebook pages, Twitter... No librarian from 20 years ago would have any idea what those things are (just like we are surprised when someone asks where the card catalog is). I'm sure there will be things that change even 5 or 10 years in the future and I'm excited to be a part of seeing what happens!
