ideas of the new world of librarianship

librarian 2.0
this is the strategy guide for helping users find information. Decisions and plans are discussed in open forums, and comments are answered. new services are enhanced by the read/write web, a climate of collaboration is in the making. technology is put to the test, is it meeting the users need in a new improved way? does it create a useful sevice for putting users together with the information and experience they seek.
the librarian reconizes how quickly the world and library users change with advancing tecnology. project timelines that stretch for months, do not work in library 2.0 thinking.
users create their won mash ups, remixes and original expressions, and should be able to do so with library resources. the librarian will help users become their own programming director.
it no longer makes sense to collect information products as if they were hard to get, they aren't, it may no longer make sense to collect. librarians must eliminate the barriers that exist between patrons and the information they need.
