My attention span is short enough that I don't spend lots of time on one topic - I get what I need and leave. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">Having said that - it is definitely useful - especially those interested in new title alerts, monitoring a news event, looking for a job, waiting for new programming, or keeping up with a blog your really into. I do use RSS - but on an as needed basis. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">I think in any web site design libraries have to consider promoting RSS as an option for keeping up on current library events and resources.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8056218722097718573-8337324904456549755?l=rcl-libtech.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>libtechhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14465586126758116555noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056218722097718573.post-35227541818160175612008-07-15T11:17:00.001-07:002008-07-15T13:24:47.467-07:00<span style="font-family:arial;">It seems that there is way too much time spent trying to define Library 2.0 and I disagree it is a new concept – customer interaction is what libraries are about! The tools keep changing, and customers can now choose to immerse themselves into the physical and virtual world of libraries to the nth degree with all the outstanding Web 2.0 technology available – but it still comes down to providing resources and comfortable/inviting environments.<br /><br />I think three challenges for libraries are…<br />1 - Accepting expertise from all walks of life - educators, IT staff, administrators, business leaders, and librarians.<br />2 - Putting some trust in non-authoritative sources.<br />3 – Maintaining sustainable content.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">As for the questions....</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">We know time is always an issue--Stephen Abram shares some ideas on where to find the time for 23 Things.
