Week 6 - Library 2.0

The articles I read ask their readers to think of libraries in much broader terms than what people have thought of them in the past. A library is not just a storehouse of books and information but more of a clearinghouse for all information which may come in many different formats whether it be print, audio, film, digital or electronic. Organizing all of this data into a managable format would be an awesome task but one that would be most beneficial to all the learners of the world. The library therefore should be thought of as the imparter of all information, not the hoarder. Through the use of technology this dream can be accomplished. Library 2.0 will help fulfill this dream to have all the information one may need at their fingertips.
