the library is everywhere, barrier-free, and participatory. Collaborate with Amazon; provide digital downloads of books; create a global, and globally accessible, catalog; invite readers to tag and comment.
I decide what I need. I think this sentence above from http://www.oclc.org/nextspace/002/6.htm explains what our libraries will be in the not too distant future, they probably are now and before the Web 2.0 exercise I wouldn't have known what I was seeing but now feel I am learning to understand this concept.

I watched the youtube video and I finally grasped the web 2.0 phenomanen - we control the web content now,we decide what we want, we sort it into how we want to receive the information be it through RSS, wikis, logging into blogs, linking with other social networks - quite scary really when I am used to going to a web site every now and then to look for facts but at the same time more interactive and more exciting.
