The web 2.0 article from the OCLC next space newsletter had some interesting and predictable points of view. I enjoyed Michael Stephens comments the most. He actually used the word knowledge rather than information! I think an 18 year old person's needs (and better yet expectations) are not the same as a 22 year old, a grad student or a faculty member. Shouldn't we be discussing these needs in the context of information, search for knowledge, instruction and utilizing web 2.0?
The "iceburgs" article was predictable, and in the words of Michael Stephens, demonstrated "techno-worship." Wendy Schultz gave an interesting summary of the future, but somehow reminded me of a blog I read earlier today by an individual sharing his dream of preaching to a stadium full of people. I browsed the rest of the newsletter, and saw OCLC's advertisements for new products for libraries to buy. They sure fit in with the articles about web 2.0!
