Web 2.0

To me, "Away from Icebergs" was the most interesting blog on Web 2.0. I agree that libraries and library personnel need to change and adapt to the times and the needs of patrons. But that shouldn't mean "anything goes." Just because people want to eat everywhere doesn't make the library a restaurant. Just because people want to chat on their cell phones doesn't make the library a park. Librarians, who are required to have a Master Degree, shouldn't have to spend most of their work day refereeing patrons arguing about computer time. A library should command and demand respect, for its collection, its mission and its employees.
