[...] So that’s it? It’s just another over-hyped, bubble-like protrusion on the naive adolescent face of the library profession. Web 2.0 is just another lure to get the tech-tranced, or the guilty non-techie librarian like me who wants to be ”with it” - to feel part of the knowledge age and to chalk up a cool quotient with my millenial mentors. I think not, I am more in agreement with Roger Clarke’s recent-ish post which sees Library 2.0 as a way of re-relating to our patrons/users and improving the responsive nature of our services to them.

[...] As I’ve said before, I’m both optimistic and critical of web-based apps, and web 2.0. I’ve been attempting to write a post that outlines my thoughts on this for some time, with difficulty. A few posts recently have reinforced that opinion, and a conversation I had last night with other local bloggers helped too. Jessamyn reminds web 2.0 advocates that they should not leave the web 0.98 world behind. And Meredith said a lot of what I’m thinking today. As much as I like using with Flickr, del.icio.us, et cetera, my web world is far from being entirely 2.0, and I’d like to keep it that way. I still don’t see any progress towards making backup and exporting of settings and files in most web 2.0 apps any easier. Like the dot com boom, web 2.0 companies are changing hands father than lightning (Riya being the latest rumoured example), and it is foolish to assume that there will be any sustainability. [...]

My problem is not around the ideals that “Library 2.0″ is espousing. It’s hitching the wagon to the Web 2.0 hype that makes me leery.

When the bubble bursts (again) where will “the movement” be?

I think I have heartily embraced what Library 2.0 is going for. I am glad that people are interested in “technology” (finally). However, “hype” isn’t the way to bring them around to “our way of thinking”.

In fact, it’s a very dangerous dance. And THAT’S my criticism/apprehension to “Library 2.0″.
