Until about a year ago, I had no idea why I kept seeing "2.0" after everything. I thought it must have been a craze or something and I was contemplating including it in all my curriculum documents (not really, although after reading the suggested articles perhaps a I should - a shake up in the educational system...). Once I finally did a little bit of research and started to understand the significance of including 2.0 in phrases I was able to make sense of why people were using this terminology.
After reading the suggested articles for this activity, I was really excited about the interactive nature of Library 2.0, particularly from a schooling perspective. I definitely agree with the statement that libraries are "at a crossroads" because of the application of Web 2.0 within the library environment. However, would the library user only be able to craft and modify library services or would the interactivity extend beyond this?
We can already see with Wikipedia that the exchange of information can be a two-way street, but how do we ensure the accuracy and validity of the information presented is a question I am still trying to find an answer to?
