Leave it to the Annoyed Librarian to take everything I was thinking about “We Know What Library 2.0 Is and Is Not” and say it much more…. Annoyingly (in a wonderful way).
Just to let you know, Library Five-0 is all about technology:
Some of the twopointopians claim that Library 2.0 isn’t just about technology, that it’s just the stuff librarians have always been doing, or would have been doing if they weren’t such evil librarians and we weren’t such good librarians. We know that’s malarkey, because if that was the case there would be no need to coin such a stupid phrase to describe something that is already going on. Unless of course the point is to coin a stupid phrase to make it seem like we’re doing something new when we really aren’t, which will allow a few of us to congratulate ourselves in a heated circle-blog and get ourselves invited to conferences so we can talk about all this stuff that’s old but that we’ve somehow made to seem new. No, wait, that’s getting too complicated.
In conclusion: “Remember, I’m right and you’re wrong, and if you disagree with me it’s just because you don’t get it and don’t love the library users as much as I do.”
Ah, AL, I’d present a paper about flashy shirts in the library at your L5-0 conference any day.
