More on Library 2.0

Read "Do Libraries Matter? The Rise of Library 2.0" by Paul Miller and Ken Chad.  Then go read Michael Stephens' post on the subject over at ALA TechSource. 

Print these two things out, including the comments on Michael's post, and hand them to your managers (or otherwise ensure that they are exposed to them through e-mail or RSS).  It's very important that library top level management understand the new direction libraries are moving in with our websites, and why.  The "why" part is crucial, and both of these articles do a good job of explaining it.

Thanks for the mention, Sarah.

We're working to strengthen and clarify the messages in the paper still further, and would welcome views from any readers as to where it could be clearer, or have still greater impact.
