I bet there are very cool things in web 2.0, but as an IT professional, it troubles my brain when i see some of this stuff, becuase i dont have the skills to develop it and that would be super cool.
THe jobs are all LAMP jobs, so I need those skills to further my career development. Which is cool and all, but going back to college isn't necessarily what I want, so its time to start reading and getting in the trenches to decide what I want.

21 audio book
Whiel i was able to find the audiobook for grim fairytales, I only believe it would be useful in lulling someone to sleep.
This is an exciting career opportunity, and Much i would be intereseted in also reading books for the computadora.
I used the gutenberg one, but im not concerned about the apple / ipod thing, just becasue if you have a mac, put parallels on it. And ipods are "only" > 60% of the market.
The library could audio-ify everythign everywhere and then listen to the cacophany of the listening room. lol
elsewheres, you could use it as another media source to chill out and let those who can't / dont want to read do stuff.

20 -- podcasting
Hey Folks,
I wanted to add and rss directly to my blog without using bloglines, however that did not work. But go listen to these ones
http://www.penny-arcade.com/padlc.xml
funnily though, IE, seems to have a built in podcasting rss feeder nicely built in.
bloglines is not necessary for me. Ido the following -- open ten tabs all at once with my favorite pages , then reload / reopen when i want to check them. I dont necessarily want to see each new article. The act of browsing is what I crave i think.
Library 2.0 is crazy, cause web 2.0 is crazy, I feel old.

#19. YouTube (week 11)
youtubing is the best way to learn a new boss fight in warcraft. Also, it is a good way to see how people violate copyright. Last but not least a way to spread the good word of jesus. Also it can be used as a publishing tool for content that would not normally go widespread, which is awesome.
notably recently in youtube, I have looked and not found a planet earth clip i wanted, and have seen some trashorchestra videos. I also have seen some rather hilarious clips of various genres which were entertaining.

16# or OCLC is hilarious
look at the formatting of the newsletter, its awe inspiring.
OCLC has billion + item records in its database, so monolithic that nothing will touch it IMO.
Rick anderson -- just in case collection -- agree The library in 2.0 will not be distinguished by its collections size, but by the specialty and uniqueness of its special collections. This is the special part, because ALL of a general collection can be ILL'd or downloaded or taken out of storage. I think the BOORA guy said it how future libraries will be hindered by large collections, not helped.
stephens -- ill take a macbook pro.Librarian 2.0 controls technolust im so about this it is ultra necessary. We need to take a cold hard look at what the needs are of library users. Then look at what we are providing and what we can provide. I took a class recently that talked about implementing new features in this light "what is the business need for this service?" or opposite but more important "what is the business drawback if we dont do it?" If there is no google search on library.ucsc.edu, then will no one come to our site???
Oh jeez -- real questions which can help us move forward , very interesting. ( what im all about )
Dr. Wendy Schultz -- not sure about web 3.0 -- this is kinda of a rush to eat 2.0 up. so maybe sit back and institute rigourous processes about how and why we implement new features and ideas in our library.
without good planning we aren't going to get anywhere.
LIBRARY 2.0 to me?
it means a ton more people are on gmail, and knowledgable to new computer stuff. Also it means that shit breaks more.
deli.ci.ous -- plugin in Internet explorer is published by yahoo.com. Guess what? -- yahoo plugins break FIS/BANNER on a PC. Thanks web 2.0

15 custom search engines
rollyo is slow, which saddens me.
super crazy -- libx but dumber ( as in not as sly)
I could see prof's making life easier and making a searchroll for common journals on the article databases (that would be too easy for students though )
or maybe a librarian making some for classses to ease research ( slightly more appropriate )
Most appropriate ( COSMOS COSMOS COSMOS )

#14. Instant Messaging and VoIP (week 8)
online chatting is old hat. AV is where its at. VOIP is used in lots of first person shooters and in MMORPGS.
Whenever I call tech support at dell or somesuch and they need to talk to somebody else, they try and IM them first, which is nice.
Same here, using it more and more for tiered support, or quick contacts with central ITS.
Pretty nice. My uncle works on live office Now that is some serious online sharing shit. had an interaction with it recently and it was amazing. Although, I believe it is also very expensive.

#12 WIKIs
http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Cataloging
Wikipedia -- the best ever
this other random "library " wiki, its good, but I feel that the more specialized the better. If there is a general one, it need massive participation to be good. For a little wiki, that say ten people use all the time, then it will be good for their specialized knowledge.
Greater participation = greater usefullness rating
IN OUR LIBRARY USEFULLness
so many areas
Internally, it could be used as a collaboration tool to post process maps and to constantly refine the processes of workflow within various departments.
It can also be used as a training tool for student workers
How about research wikis for classes
Or research wikis in general for various types of research.
Then you would want to leverage the other types of library wikis that are out there already so you aren't having to duplicate work thats already been done.
There are a lot of applications of wikis but it takes careful planning i believe to make them work right. Also significant user population buy in -- so they aren't corrupted like the wiki entries for politicians in washington.
