It is true, if libraries don't keep up with the times, technology & with patrons' needs they will left behind (become extinct).
Web 2.0 & Library 2.0 - to providing a better and more efficient service to more people.
Like Web 2.0, Library 2.0 our goals is to reach more people. This means keeping up with what people need or want. As information sources are no longer just books libraries need to also adapt. Informing our patrons of library updates, events, programs etc... whether by emails, blogposts, text messages, U-tube, myspace, podcasts etc... any means necessary. Web 2.0 gives us many scopes to reach more people in many different ways.
Like me how many of you would remember when we were young to make a phone call we had to find a public phone (hoping it was working), to keep in touch with family overseas meant writing a letter and waiting anxiously for a reply. Diaries and address books were used. And who new what computer meant? Games were board games, playing cards or physical sports and an electronic game was the old Atari.
