Library 2.0 as change agent

John Blyberg wrote about the possible areas where using the principles of Library 2.0 can make a difference:

Technology:
  • Planning is key
  • Tech worship is a trap
  • Open Source is an option
  • Social software creates conversations

Policy
  • Are we creating barriers?
  • Have you read your manual lately?
  • what about our organizational chart?

Programming
  • Interaction
  • Building Community
  • "Outside the Box?"

Physical Space

Think of the most comfortable or useful spaces: What draws you to them?

What are Barriers in our libraries?

Physical space/furniture/equipment? Programming? Policies? Technology?
The Catalog? The Collection The Collection? Services? reference? Communication? Organizational Chart? Signs as barriers? Do we have sacred cows?
