Week 6, Thing 15 Web 2.0 and the future of Libraries

These activities really helped me tie Web 2.0 together with libraries. Just like Michael Wesch's video said, we need to make library space more user inviting. Every aspect of web 2.0 is something that future library users are familiar with and are using. Libraries need to change their way of thinking and do away with the "just in case" print collection and provide a digital collection of books, journals, blogs, etc. Libraries need to adapt to the customers they serve and bring their services to the customers through the web. After all, the web is a part of most of our customers' everyday routine and can be accessed from anywhere.
