#15 On Library 2.0 & Web 2.0 ...

I learnt about Web 2.0 and Learning 2.0.

The new technologies facilitate new ways of learning and interacting. The use of this new technology gives the user more control over their environment. Linkages are created between people that may not have been created otherwise.

In reference to Away from Iceberg and Into a new world of librarianship

There is a lot to be said for aiming to make libraries of the future freely accessible to users. I think it is admirable that librarians are trying to make everything accessible online, promote user-paced online learning, and direct the learning materials to the client via the Internet. This also means that many clients will be able to use the one resource all at the one time.
