Web 2.0, Library 2.0 & The Future....

Disclaimer: I am not a librarian.

However, from what I read in several of the articles I am catching on to Library/Web 2.0 and the technology. From my understanding its addressing the ever increasing need to bring Libraries into the technology age. Librarians are at a point where collections of books are becoming less important and access to technology is becoming a necessity. Gone are the days where research is done in book stacks and here are the days where a research paper can be created solely from sources found in internet searches. To address these needs librarians need to become masters of the web based tools that can help their patrons access these collections of digital information. Which is why 23 things is so awesome. We are all getting a chance to see a side of the internet that you dont encounter on a daily basis, and discover tools that will help us as we address the needs of our time.
