Monty's big adventure

Monty is just starting out on learning about Web 2.0. How exciting!

Even though Monty has worked in libraries for 28 years & seen lots of changes, both in technology and the use of libraries, Web 2.0 seems to cover a lot of changes in a limited time frame.

Monty could even use gmail, blogger, flicker & other technology at home too. I take lots of great photos I could even post on the Web. Even blogging, asking about travel hints for my trip to Europe next May.

Web 2.0 could open up huge possiblities for public libraries. Blogging, flickering, gmailing, for library patrons. There could even be a common theme posted on a blog & the public could post their opinions, comments online. Patrons could review new books & write their comments, recommend books, CD's, DVD's to other library users. There could be a photo competition, even a photo competition with a theme & patrons could add their own unique photos. Copyright would have to be considered though. Just a thought.
