About Library 2.0-- "information overload" comes to mind. I didn't understand parts of it,some parts made sense, & some parts were depressing but it's all food for thought. It's true that libraries no longer have a monopoly on information. If everybody is going to be adding info to sites, I do hope there is oversight. And letting patrons mix & mashup & so forth on library equipment could make for interesting maintenance needs. As the woman writer mentioned, "tour guides" will probably be needed to wade through all the available material. Not being able to keep up with changes or "train" patrons on using sites sounds inevitable if change will be constant. Techies will be in seventh heaven & in huge demand. Nearly anything sounds possible for the people with insight & skills to apply the technology.
