In terms of reference resources for any Library it makes sense to be aware and forward thinking in terms of the next big thing in the whole Internet concept - ie Web 2.0 and it's off shoot Library 2.0.
However, considering that I work on a Saturday for 3 hours and the majority of people I have in the Library are replenishing their weeks stock of Romances, Best sellers or Westerns, or Dads bringing kids down to the Library to give Mum a break - all this computer referencing is not relevant. People still want their books to sit down and read with a cup of coffee.
Even all the blogging will be done by people at home if they so desire - it's not something that a Library Staff member like myself will need to direct clints in.
Concerned at the whole Americanisation of it all too - but it seems I'm writing that comment with each Exercise!
