Librarian 2.0

Librarian 2.0 - two screen casts at the end of the page provide insight into blogging in library environments (while it doesn't say anything new about blogging, it does describe the experience of moving online from a librarian's perspective and reactions of university staff)...I have to reflect on this quote a bit more:"‘The Song Remains the Same,’ It’s Just a Cover Song Using New Instruments" (the author asserts that "regardless of the technical aspects of the changing information landscape (Library 2.0?), the song, generally, remains the same when it comes to the messages subject librarians need to convey." I think the change in libraries, museums, and schools is of such a magnitude that the song may be changing as well. Much like television changed live theatre, the internet is transforming learning, communication, and information seeking.
