Library 2.0

It's not like no one has used these technologies before. There are certainly a lot of people who have. And they may feel that the 2.0 thing is BS or whatever, and that's fine. What's not ok is ignoring the trend that has led so many more people on-line. The time has come for official endorsement of these technologies as necessary knowledge for anyone serving the public. Libraries included. These technologies are old. The fact that just now someone has decided we need to know about them is great but very, very late. Technology is where society is going. Libraries will have to follow.
