Librarians and the importance of Library 2.0
Posted by Jacque on July 26th, 2007
Marketer Rohit Bhargava writes about technology as an enabler for people collaborating and sharing an “authentic” voice:
There is a pool of professionals who are watching and contributing to these efforts and focusing not just on how we organize the world’s content … but also how to bring it to local communities and real people around the world.
That group is part of a phenomenon increasingly known as Library 2.0 and the spokespeople of this revolution are the new generation of Librarians who are blogging, contributing to wikis, using social media to locate and organize information and along the way, reinventing a profession that is likely to be one of the most important careers of the future.
