Wow! Hard to comment on just one of the articles about Library 2.o as I found myself caught up in the whole discussion with the links from one point of view to the next. The utube video was extremely interesting and I checked out a utube response that raised some interesting points about media being the message and questioning the participatory experience, especially sensory on the web. This debate was later raised in some of the points of view about web 2.0 and it will be interesting to hear the results of the study on virtual reference and patrons experiences re: satisfaction with the interface and information.
I felt the comments in "Away from the icebergs" may be more relevant to college and university libraries. We may be experiencing a flat lining in circulations, but certainly not the 55% at his university, but we are also very pleasure reading focused. I agree user education is the key and we need to start early in the formal education process--but how does the average teacher in the classroom keep up in order to help students learn important web skills and decision making--does the public library have a role here?
I found "In temporary spaces" extremely thought provoking--refering back somewhat to the sensory participatory experience and how that may be reflected in the virtual web. Learned about new concepts to me--Library 3.0 and 4.0 and SecondLife3 being used by savy web users.
Sorry, I couldn't stop at one --"A rural school district" seems to have many lessons on success that would serve well for many libraries to look at.
