That&#039;s an increasingly important point.<br /><br />One might reflect, though, that as people increasingly see the web as &#034;social&#034; there&#039;s some probability that they&#039;ll see it less as &#034;information.&#034; Looking for information may require a online rigor that folks used to a 2.0 modality no longer find natural.

We should remember too that for many of our users/patrons because of their age, web 2.0 is the only web they know.

So ... who&#039;s up for 3.0? <img alt='emoticon' src='@theme_images_path@/emoticons/big_grin.gif' /><br /><br />The numbers don&#039;t mean much. Effective interaction, either 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 or by word of mouth, does.

I don&#039;t know about the rest of the country, but Idaho librarians are just getting the hang of what 2.0 means. I find that those who have embraced Library2.0 are far from being 2.0ed out. They are my evangelists. <br /><br />I do library marketing on the state level and am constantly surprised at how long it takes for a concept/slogan/program to catch on. I&#039;m already bored with it by the time some people are just becoming excited about it! A personal story: I was intimidated by Library 2.0 until just 15 months ago. I knew something about it, but hoped I could live nicely without it! As it turns out, it was simpler than I ever imagined. Yes, I could post&#059; Yes, I figured out how to RSS&#059; Yes, I could bookmark. Let&#039;s let our library community become confident with 2.0 before we change the name. And that doesn&#039;t even bring to question the general public&#039;s acceptance...

I&#039;m sitting in a small conference room waiting to co&#045;host a Wimba session on our new Web 2.0 site and WebJunction Idaho. We were exploring the site and I came across this interest group&#045;&#045;thanks for setting it up!

Can you volunteer in a local library? Libraries usually love volunteers.

hi, kenneth.<br />i&#039;m new to LIS, too, and in my first term at Drexel U as an MS student. i have no library experience, but am working on a product that functions like a digital library. Drexel&#039;s program is all online, and was the only one in the top 10 that didn&#039;t require any campus time to complete. outside of that, it&#039;s rising in the ranks at us news &amp; report. <br />you might try just looking at some course descriptions and stuff to find out if it sounds like something you might like to do.<br />here&#039;s a good place to see how Drexel&#039;s program looks:<br />http://www.drexel.com/online&#045;degrees/information&#045;sciences&#045;degrees/ms&#045;di/index.aspx

I&#039;ve heard lots of people talking about how tired they are of hearing about &#034;everything&#034; being &#034;2.0&#039;ed&#034;. So do you all think it is just a catch phrase that should go away some time soon, or a practical umbrella term? When should we call it something else? And what would that something else be do you think?

hello everyone<br />my name is Ken and library science has peaked my interest recently. Unfortunately, i have been running into lots of bad luck, hurdles, and other walls preventing me from learning about library science. The economy and finances may have a little to do with it, but i have other problems. I have a Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree and researching/looking into a Master&#039;s library science degree with the U of I Champaign being a logical choice with their LEEP program. However, I would like to gain experience in a library setting first before making a commitment to the degree. This is the bad part no local library will hire me since i have no library experience even with my 4 year degree, having a president of the friend of the library as a reference, and having a friend who knows someone on the library board. i cannot even get a page job &#040;it is reserved for teeenagers i think and i think some libraries have a preference for certain types of employees, which i cannot prove discrimination. Just thought i would try this out and see what responses i get and then decide if this is a sign that library science is not for me.
