Ok, I've been reading some of the articles in our discovery excercises and they are very interesting and I found some things that really resonated with me and here they are:
From:Next space the OCLC newsletter
Web 2.0 where will it take libraries
By:Michael Stephens Librarian, Blogger
Into a new world of librarianship
"This librarian does not create policies and procedures that impede users’ access to the library."
By:Rick AndersonDirector of Resource Acquisition,University of Nevada, Reno Libraries
Away from the “icebergs"
"We need to focus our efforts not on teaching research skills but on eliminating the barriers that exist between patrons and the information they need, so they can spend as little time as possible wrestling with lousy search interfaces and as much time as possible actually reading and learning."
I liked this one as we struggle through ACS.
"Librarian 2.0 controls technolust. This librarian does not buy technology for the sake of technology. “Techno-worship” does not exist here. Without a firm foundation in the mission and goals of the institution, new technologies are not implemented for the sake of coolness and status. Technology is put to the test: Does it meet the users need in a new or improved way? Does it create a useful service for putting users together with the information and experience they seek? These are some of the questions this librarian asks when planning for technology. This librarian creates and nurtures a living, breathing technology plan."
