Thing 15 (Library 2.0)

Library 2.0 is more than a computer program, it is rather a philsophy for library service now and in the future. Succinctly, libraries must be open to change and must involve their customers in determining what new services to provide instead doing internal studies and/or surveys. Libraries will no longer be contained within four walls. Michael Stephens, a professor at Dominican University's Graduate School of Library and Information Science, is the guru of Library 2.0. Here is a link to a podcast interview Sarah Long, Director of the North North Suburban Library System in Illinois did with Stephens: http://www.librarybeat.org/podcast/?_episode=100. Listen Long's interview with Dr. Stephens and you will learn more about Library 2.0.
