Library 2.0 perspectives

I looked at 3 pespectives on Library 2.0 - Below are the pieces I found particularly relevant:

1. Into a new world of librarianship
Librarian 2.0 gets content: This librarian understands that the future of libraries will be guided by how users access, consume and create content.AND Librarian 2.0 embraces Web 2.0 tools. These are essential elements so that libraries do not become obsolete to users

2. To better bibliographic services
Another part of not becoming obsolete - by making more metadata accessible more resources will be able to be used. RDA helps to do this by clustering results that are interesting to students.

3. To a temporary place in time
I found this section interesting "What are libraries? Libraries are not just collections of documents and books, they are conversations, they are convocations of people, ideas, and artifacts in dynamic exchange. Libraries are not merely in communities, they are communities: they preserve and promote community memories; they provide mentors not only for the exploration of stored memory, but also for the creation of new artifacts of memory."
