Thing 2 What is Lib 2.0?

I attended a workshop in Mankato at tzt headquarters. So, Lib2.0 is not just a walk down technology lane. I am going to learn some new vocabulary: aggregator - the blog; paradign shift - total new way of being; institutions efficacy - efficiency?; metadata - meeting knowledge; and ideas like "collaborating cataloging"; transforming information infrastructure. I watched the video, took some notes. Google an "uber-gateway", yup the vocab is a challenge. It makes sence, we do have to "get people back to the library by making the library relevant"(quoting Ms. Houghton). Yeah, there is much learning to be done. That is the purpose of this, so I get up to speed. Stephen Abram says we learn as we reflect and there are unintended consequences (the ripple effect).

Thing 1 posting. Set up Blog

Created blog and set the format at workshop in Mankato, January 24. Being from Minnesota and all, my first impression when I saw this workshop was related to the State Fair. I was looking forward to tasting 23 kinds of food. Yeah, I can still fantasize I am having a corndog, cheesecake or hotdish when I dial up the blog. Did anyone else have expectations of culinary delight?
