Methods 1 & 2

Web and Library 2.0 is the next generation of electronic technology and how it affects why, where, and how we search for information. Web 2.0 is the catalyst for current trends in libraries and how they provide information to users. I think all kinds of libraries - especially school libraries - need to embrace Web 2.0 and the changes it has and continues to create in order meet the needs and demands of today's users. If libraries fail to meet the challenge, they will become at best museums and at worst completely obsolete.

For my school library, Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 means that I must ensure that the library meets to needs to it's users - the students and faculty. It also means that I must provide a great deal of background to those that are responsible for the library's funding. It is difficult, if not impossible, to embrace Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 without the means to create the ends.
