what do I think about the world of 2.0 for libraries?

This is regarding assignment #15 Library 2.0 and Web 2.0.

I read all of the articles posted on this assigment and came away with the following thoughts: there is no stopping change so we need to embrace it, understand it, learn how to use it and make sure we stay on top of all the new ideas and latest technology.
The way libraries are used now in some sense will remain the same. People still want to check out physical items, books, cd's, dvd's etc. but as more and more people get computers at home, use their phones or other devices to learn and share we may still less of the population coming into the physical building.
I believe we always need to keep in mind there are people who can't afford and won't have access to all the latest and greatest tools. We can't forget about the haves and have not divisions that will always exist, especially in this area where there is a significant number of the population with lower incomes.
That said, I believe these assignments are only touching the surface of what will be coming our way concerning new technology.
I like what Rick Anderson saidin his web 2.0 article: "At a minimum library service means placing service and content in the user's preferred environment, such as the web; even better it means integrating our services in their daily patterns of work, study and play."
or Michael Stephens when he said, "the basic drive is to get people back into the library by making the library relevant to what they want and need in their daily lives ..to make the library a destination and not an afterthought." Stephens also said, "Librarian 2.0 also listens to staff and users when planning, tells the stories of successes and failures, learns from both, celebrates those successes, allows time to play and learn and never stops dreaming about the best library services possible."
or John Blyberg," in order to be adept at navigating library 2.0 waters, the old fiefdoms need to disappear. Library 2.0 requires drastic and sweeping changes to our internal cultures and will require some form of institutional enlightenment."
