#15 library 2.0 and web 2.o
This section took alot of reading. It was very interesting though. I agree that libraries need to cooperate, and collaborate on integrating collections and services to survive. In the release lightweight services section I was unaware of all the services that make it easy to sydicate data, services and systems to be remixed- It looks like OCLC is very much looking into new various ways to keep libraries vital. In the- to a temporary place in time, the evolution of the library was very informative and interesting. It boggles my mind of how fast the technology affects the library and society itself. I can't even phanthom the changes we and the community in which we serve will have to adapt to in the future. It is scary in a way but you always have to look forward if libraries as a whole want to play a vital role in the future.
