On Library 2.0 and Web 2.0

I know libraries have to keep adapting to the times to remain relevant. With a current generation who will turn to the internet rather than a book, which could be the easier option. We need to be visible on the internet in a variety of ways. Obviously this goes beyond out own library web pages.Last week I joined a borrower who had travelled to our Library system because she found on the internet through Libraries Australia that we had a book. We as Librarians need to keep up with our patrons and find new groups of users through the way we market our services on the web. The number of times people have said to me I didn't know libraries had... shows me that non users have an outdated concept of what a library is. The internet archives information we are the key managers of information resources we need to get on board. The time has come to fully embrace the wider information rescources that now make up our Libraries.
