Library 2.0

Wow, interesting reading on Library 2.0, especially the future of libraries. Dr. Wendy Shultz expressed the future of Library 4.0 "...the dream society will need libraries as mind gyms, libraries as idea labs, libraries as art salons" which will include all of what libraries had to offer in the past. Wow, I want to work at a library that has an idea gym and art salon. Neat stuff, and concepts. Nice to think of library's future as gaining more creative interaction with the public. No chance for anything to get stuck in one mold.

Library 2.0 is so highly interactive, and gives library users some leverage as to be like a "programming director". Library is about the public, so making sure we expound on the "user-centered" focus will surely make us a winner. I wonder how all of this will pan out, you know, the public having so much freedom?
