Week 6, Thing 15: Web 2.0, Library 2.0
The readings on Library 2.0 provided a lot to thing about. The dicussion of doing away with "just in case collections" can really help to illuminate selecion and weeding decisions. It makes a lot of sense. The idea that users should be able to customize services to suit their needs, add tags, comment, and be involved in the planning process is an good way to guarantee customer satisfaction. I liked Dr. Wendy Schultz's description of a new library mode: "a knowledge spa: meditation, relaxation, immersion in luxuary of ideas and thought." In other places she lost me.

i actually thought of you when i read about just in case collections. i thought folks in your department might find the article thought-provoking.
i also liked your comment about dr. shultz--at other points she lost me--very diplomatic. i actually felt the same way. those futurists are out there sometimes :)
