Library+2.0+Workshop+Resources

=Library 2.0=

===The web has changed the way we interact, the way we learn, and the way we work. The digital learner today understands the world through a variety of what Josh McHugh of WIRED Magazine refers to as filters.These filters take the form of computing devices such as cellular phones, handheld gaming devices, PDAs, laptops, home computers, TVs, and home game consoles. The digital learner is a skilled multitasker who absorbs and processes information in ways that are very different from the ways we learned in the past. Above all, today's learner has moved from being a consumer of information to becoming a creator of information. New tools such as wikis, blogs, You Tube, Google video, etc. now make it possible for anyone to create and share information with virtually anyone, anywhere.===

===We are living and working in collaborative environments. How does this impact school library programs? How must school libraries reevaluate and retool to adjust to these new learning environments so that the services and resources that are delivered are what is needed?===

The resources listed below will help each of us learn more about what Library 2.0 looks like and how it develops its program.

More than that, it opens up an important discussion of how Web 2.0 is changing how we think, work, interact with others, and learn.
