Exercise #10

Library 2.0

The core message in the perspectives about Library 2.0 is that libraries must stay relevant and up-to-date, as they always have done, or risk being left behind and becoming redundant. Now, however, we are seeing dramatic change in the delivery and sharing of information, using technology which is rapidly developing. Libraries must keep up or even strive to be one step ahead so they are ready to serve their community.
Dr Wendy Schultz looks further into the future and talks about Library 3.0 and even Library 4.0. It all sounds very exciting and quite mind-boggling, but I hope we will still retain the personal customer interaction that we have today.
