THIS BLOG:
a place to speculate about the future of libraries, especially how digital technology and social software (Web 2.0 and Library 2.0) together might affect the development and management of library collections. How can we continue to develop and maintain rich cultural repositories and also implement the best of 2.0 to foster community around those repositories? See the posts in the “philosophy” category to gain a better picture of my goals and aims. The opinions expressed here are mine and not those of my employer.
