Web 2.0 and Libraries

Thing 15

Quote from Michael Stephens (Librarian, Blogger )

"One of the principles I would add to the Library 2.0 meme is that “the Library is human” because it makes the library a social and emotionally engaging center for learning and experience."

I am seeing the Media Specialists in the elementary libraries bring the media center to life more and more. There are literature studies taking place. Technology is in the forefront. The kids are truly engaged and enjoying their experience when they visit the media center. This librarian recognizes how quickly the world and library users change with advancing technology. It starts with the kids. I see how these articles will help/guide/enhance the use of the media center with the specialists being the ones to guide the use of the articles in assisting the teachers with bringing technology to the forefront when completing projects.

What are your thoughts?
