#15: On Library 2.0 and Web 2.0

I've read all of the perspectives on Library 2.0. The one that I most appreciated was, In a Temporary Place in Time. Dr. Schultz made some interesting points. Her thoughts on the evolution of technology were interesting ones.
As technology advances, the library becomes available to more people and in more ways. Serving patrons outside of the library building has become quite do able. The library has made electronic databases available to patrons where in the past it was avail. from print indexes available only in the library. The electronic databases are evolving all the time. Patrons have access to more databases with more and better information and the option of using them outside of the library. Having access to e-books. Amazing. Students all over Ohio can receive assistance with homework assignments through the know-it-now service. Genealogy patrons across the country have access to information so very quickly. The library website provides patrons with so much information. It's so interesting to see how one thing builds on another. I've only been with the library for 8 years-it's just amazing to me how much technology has evolved in that short span of time.
