The RefDesk2.0 blog is about my experiences with new technologies and library trends. I will be tracking my progress with the 23 Things On a Stick Program, a program for individuals working in Minnesota libraries.

Thing 2

I am always pleased to see libraries using web 2.0. I have some very sad experiences with librarians and support staff completely intimated and distraught over new technology and change. Each time I was very confused as to why, are we not supposed to be the go to people for information literacy? It seems to me continual learning and adaptation is an integral part of being an information literate librarian. The Internet has changed the way people consume, need and create information, it is only natural the library run right along side with this change, just as any other company in any other market must keep up with “the times” in order to succeed. I am looking forward to continuing this program and very excited to see what ideas other librarians come up with.
