9. Library 2.0 is a
state of mind
â˘Working to meet changing user needs
â˘Trusting our users (radical trust)
â˘Getting rid of the culture of perfect
â˘Aware of emerging technologies and
opportunities
â˘Looking outside of the library world for
applications, opportunities, inspiration
10. We really need
to do these Web
2.0 things all the
other libraries are
doing
11. I think our library really needs a blog
to be relevant to our patrons. Donât
worry, Iâll handle everything.
19. Why does it fail?
⢠Use of social software is not seen as furthering
the libraryâs mission
⢠Social software is treated as someoneâs
âpet project.â
⢠Social software is not planned for strategically
like other technologies
⢠Once the newness wears off, people are less
motivated to contribute
⢠Staff are not given time to work on social
software
60. Is your organization (as it is
currently structured) able
to make all this happen?
