Library 2.0
I liked "Away from the 'Icebergs'", though I'm not sure I agree with all his points. I totally agree that educating our users is less effective and less important than improving our interfaces, but I also think bringing our services and content to our patrons is a bit intrusive. If they want it or need it, we should make it easy for them, but we don't necessarily have to force it down their throats. I completely agree with "To Better bibliographic Services" and hope OCLC improves WorldCat in the directions he recommends. To me, Library 2.0 is simply adding the ability to accept user input into our on-line services, most notably (but hopefully not limited to) tagging of our catalogue records.
