Library 2.0

Dr. Wendy Schultz comments on Library 2.0 and where we will go after that in "To a temporary place in time." For me it is hard to imagine what will come next, as technologies are constantly changing. Who would have thought 30 years ago that we would rely so heavily on computers today. 20 years ago, who would have been able to picture the internet, email, and mp3 players? And just 10 years ago--Web 2.0? What's that?!

I liked what she says about Library 2.0 "the library is everywhere, barrier-free, and participatory." I think barrier-free is the key here--Library 2.0 and beyond will continue to break down the barriers between people and the information that they seek.
