Thing 15

From Helene Blowers: the aim is "to continuosly improve library services and make them more user centric". I agree with this wholeheartedly.

From YouTube
Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us
Web 2.0 is people - people sharing. I tried to paste the link for this video into this post, coz I am sure I will want to view it again in the future.... but it is past my bedtime and I can't seem to hit the right button at the moment.....
Anyway. This video is good. We do need to rethink how we operate as individuals, as a service to the public, and as a community.... and yet, I can't help but think about the millions of people that do not have access to electricity and safe water - will this divide the world even further? We have a responsibility to ensure access to these tools grows across all demographics and continents, rather than becoming elitist.
