Library 2.0 what a piece

I read it all. All of the articles, and my eyes are bugging out and my heart is pounding. I'm pulled back and forth by my thought of what a library was when I was a child, what it is now as I work at one and what it will be in the future. I am overwhelmed and feeling totally behind in all that is and may be involved.

My first "iceberg," the just in case collection, from the Rick Anderson article http://www.oclc.org/nextspace/002/2.htm makes me wonder. I have heard or read that a physical book may not be in my future and that makes me sad. I try and think if curling up on a winter's day with a cup of hot chocolate and the snow flakes falling outside the window would be the same with some electronic format. If it will evoke the same sense of satisfaction that I have with a print book. That being said, I don't usually go to a book format for information until after "doing a google".

The barriers that prevent customers from being able to use new technoloiges need to be removed. It's a concept I have of a bending tree. The limbs bend to fit the customer. Not a rigid fixed tree that requires customers to fit into the tree.

The article by Wendy Schultz I will need to reread serveral more times to see if I can wrap my mind around it.

I have the sense from all of these articles that life is moving on and I need to get on board or get left at the station. I'm running to catch the train before it leaves the station. Maybe that isn't a bad thing. I can still run and it might turn out to be a great bit of fun to catch the train.
