2. Web 2.0

The web is an every evolving world of change. Everything is moving so fast with the amount of information available and how people use the web. Blogs, Wikis, MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube, etc. has changed how we communicate. Libraries need to keep abreast of how people communicate and search for information to get people interested in coming into the Library. Libraries will need to keep up with the changes and be open to new ways of doing things to help our patrons. Technology has played a key role in the changing face of libraries.
