Thing # 15

Firstly, i am going to try & find out what the Cluetrain Manifesto is secondly i will need to learn more about OCLC (online computer library center).
Library 2.0 is the future...but i agree with Rick Anderson. 'Libraries are poorly equipped & insufficiently staffed for teaching'. We are trying to direct our patrons (i hate the word 'users') towards the internet/home page/databases/my account but it is a slow process. Even when we offered classes to teach iBistro they were poorly attended. I couldn't begin to calculate the staff:patron ratio. How do we introduce & teach this technology to patrons? I believe that the upcoming generations will already have a handle on all this technology. Technorati has recorded more than 50 millions blogs since July 31 2006!! A lot of people already have a handle on it.
23 Things has been a great experience & i will continue to use some of the features...
In order to make Library 2.0 more user-centric for staff future directions need to be for more staff traing.
