I am preparing for the California School Library Association conference workshop this Thursday. I was working on this slide that compares Library 1.0 with Library 2.0. It looks a little like this:
LIBRARY 1.0 Now LIBRARY 2.0
“In Library Only” NOW “In the school and the world”
“Information controlled in library” NOW “Information controlled by the user/student/teacher”
“Static library website” NOW “Dynamic user websites”
“publishing” NOW “participating”
What other comparisons would you add?
Hi Rob,
What about:
One-way (to Library users) NOW Two-way (to and from users)
Or, something implying that with Library 2.0, it’s no longer acceptable or appropriate for libraries/library staff to assume they know what patrons need and make no effort to be responsive and that by using Library 2.0, libraries are almost forced to be responsive. That’s a big shift in thinking, but it’s possible because we now have the technology to be in greater communication with our clients.
Thanks
Keely
What about
Only available locally NOW available worldwide
Great thoughts! I added them to my presentation.
