Thing 2 What is Web 2.0?

Having a colleague who is forging ahead with her 23 Things (already on Thing 4!) serves as a useful prod to my own exploration. Library 2.0 is the topic for today. I've heard Stephen Abram speak before about Library 2.0. His enthusiasm for the various technologies remains strong, but I was struck today by his comments on the importance of experiential learning and on time for reflection. This is an important point. Carving out time to work at the computer on each Thing is the easy part. It's a good way to build technical skills. However, applying those skills in a way that benefits library customers cannot be done as a solo enterprise. Time to reflect think and explore ideas with colleagues is essential, and that kind of time is tough to find.
