Thing 18 Library 2.0

It has been an interesting journey doing the 23 things, albeit not always an easy one, however as with life there have been highs and lows. At first I felt like a luddite resisting a lot of the technology but still realizing that it may be very useful for todays library clientele. We need to be constantly innovative in order to remain relevant and provide the best service possible to our users. The idea of user user participation and feedback is a very good one. The one thing I have learned by this journey is we need to be continually creative and flexible and embrace change not fight against it because as Bob said "the times they are a changing."
I listened to the Talis podcast and found a lot of the discussion quite interesting.
As one of them said the new technology has caused a great seachange in libraries we must embrace it or drown.
Over and out
