Our assignment: Write about your thoughts on Library 2.0 - It's many things to many people. What does it mean to you?
There was some interesting reading here. I don't think it is realistic to expect the library to be all things to all people. There is no way we can offer everything that a person might want - and it's important to remember that we never have! We offer a great many things but not everything.
In addition, there needs to be some realization of how this technology reaches the bulk of our patrons. What are the demographics for a particular library? If most of our patrons are computer illiterate, is there much use for a library blog? If we're in a wealthy area, patrons have resources outside the library that they will probably use first.
Overall, I suppose we should search for balance.
