Exercise 15

I enjoyed reading all five articles. This was one of the most enjoyable exercises so far. I especially liked "To a temporary place in time" because she talked about the benefits of Library 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 (goodness and I'm struggling with learning 2.0) but she ends up reminding us what people really want is a good library 1.0. A place to relax, learn and explore. The other ones: 2, 3, and 4 will be means to get us there in today's world. that felt reasssuring.
Stewart's article, Into a new world of librarianship also reminds me that tools and technology without the particiapation of librarians isn't much. Librarians and others will need to learn and help others use these social networking tools but critical thinking skills is where it's at.
