Library 2.0?

Library 2.0, I have to admit that when I first heard the term I wondered what it meant. As I have read and followed all of the talk I admit to being nervous about all of the technology and I wondered how it would affect the Library but more importantly I wondered how it would affect me and my job. I have read several articles about Library 2.0 and my perspective has started to change. I admit that at first I felt totally and completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of material that was being discussed and I wondered about its application in a library setting. After reading and researching the Library 2.0 concept I admit that I am still a little bit nervous but my nervousness is being replaced by curiousity and determination. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing how these technologies are going to shape the future of libraries. I am looking forward to implementing them in my library as well as in my personal life. I must admit if someone would have told me 2-3 years ago that I would being using anything besides e-mail and my cell phone I would have thought that they had lost their mind. But as the saying goes, "live and Learn" and I have a lot of both to do .
