Library 2.0

I read all the referenced articles on web 2.0 and library 2.0 , finding most useful the discussion of library OPACs and how they are evolving in a 2.0 environment. The idea that all library services should be user driven is not new, but the technologies available to make that a reality are what is driving current change. I would just be happy to have a more user-friendly OPAC right now - the present catalog is the source of endless patron complaints and difficulties. Reading these conceptual articles is like looking through a glass at an idealized future world, one that may be hard to create in the current budget environment.
