Week 6

I read "into a new world of librarianship" and was struck by the contrasting points of avoiding technolust and embracing trends. It's hard to know when something has passed into being a useful trend and not just a shiny new toy. Usually for me, by that point, it's no longer cool anyway.
the next article focused on more powerful ways to cooperate. I think it would be great to have our library users add more content. The reviews by everyone are a great start. I know some library catalogs allow for patron comments which would be interesting. For me, one of the most useful things about Amazon are the reviews, even though one has to be sceptical to avoid what are obviously planted reviews.
