Ok, so now I've done 15 things while waiting to go on desk for the next two hours and close the library at 2100 hours.
Crawford's article about Library 2.0 or "Library 2.0" doesn't do much for me. If anything I am more confused than ever about what it is. Evidently it's bipolar.
He seems to denigrate public libraries when he states that "I don’t believe public libraries have ever been most people’s primary source of current information, or indeed the first place you’d go looking for information in general." I would vehemently disagree with that statement. I always went to the library either public or college when I needed to find out information. That was then. And now I visit the library electronically from home to access journal articles.
He doesn't like being a customer as opposed to a patron. Nevertheless I agree with a lot of what he says in his epilogue and final page about Library 2.0. I am too busy taking care of patrons or customers to find the time to do a lot of this stuff.
