I suppose also that I feel that there are are so many interesting tools available that I wont get to use as many of them as I could (should?).
Professionally I think the concept of our patrons being able to interact more with online material (eg by adding tags, or using RSS feeds) etc or resources (eg chat, dowloading/uploading images etc) - for example - is a positive element of the whole 2.0 revolution.
I think the this programme is a good start for us to get a grip on what's going on out there, but personally I think I need to remember to more actively track what's happening with the continuing flow of new developments.
As an industry libraries have been at the forefront of utilising new technological developments, but now there's a whole new set of players out there (eg the behemoth: Google everywhere!) and we need to continue, and increase, our concerted effort be out there (not following). For example I'm looking forward to seeing SLV's new website in 2010. I hope there'll be a lot of 2.0 tools (widgets) going on there to take Us out to the virtual searcher, as well as them being brought in.
Goodnight and good luck!
Bye from Audrey too:
