wikipedia Library 2.0

I chose this article for my first blog because the whole concept of "Wikipedia" represents Library 2.0 to me. Wikipedia is not a stable, static source for information. It evolves, changes by public input, opinion, and constant editing, similar to Library 2.0.

There isn't anything constant about 2.0, the technology can change, mutate, and evolve daily. There isn't a structured organization as users are encouraged to participate, improve, and therefore constantly restructure the 2.0 tools. The challenge of 2.0 is to learn to relearn.

That's not to say that it's not a great idea to keep abreast of new technology, but it will be difficult to master it. Are we as Libraries trying to keep up with the public or are we forcing the public to keep up with us?
