In concuding my thoughts after reading Here Comes Everybody I wrote a post on the RISG blog posing the question: Is Web 2.0 a Revolution? The line of thought in this post goes along these lines.
If Web 2.0 and social networking become ubiquitous and hence everyone becomes not only information consumers but also content producers then any organisation that relies on managing information is going to be profoundly effected. I think we are already seeing a shift toward people trusting their personal networks for information over traditional institutions.
Libraries are an institution.
How are libraries responding to the shift and preparing themselves for the future?
