Kosmo
I decided to write about Kosmo because he turned three today. This entry has nothing to do with technology, only that I can use it to post pictures of my dog.Its fitting he's here because his special love of eating books has resulted in large contibutions to our library system!

Successful life long learning
I feel fortunate because most of the habits come pretty easy for me. My favorite is #3 - I love a challenge. There are truly no problems, just challenges to deal with and solve.
The hardest for me is 7.5. I'm always telling myself I'm too busy to play but know that great learning comes through it! We begin our lives processing our world through play and by the time we are adults many of us lose the ability.

Social networking IS Web 2.0. There are many library systems that have incorporated it into their sites but many that have not. Some people even argue it is unsafe for it to be part of a library's web presence. Read what YALSA has to say about it and what we can do to educate our customers about being savvy online:

Here's a word and definition that is disctinctly Web 2.0:
Folksonomy (also known as collaborative tagging , social classification, social indexing, social tagging, and other names) is the practice and method of collaboratively creating and managing tags to annotate and categorize content. In contrast to traditional subject indexing, metadata is not only generated by experts but also by creators and consumers of the content. Usually, freely chosen keywords are used instead of a controlled vocabulary.[1]

Be everywhere, Be somewhere!
This prophetic line came from Joe Janes and his fabulous keynote speech Reference 2.0: Ain’t What It Used to Be…And It Never Will Again.
The basic concept behind his speech was: you have to be somewhere (a physical space) AND you have to be everywhere (a web presence, etc). A library is no longer a just a physical space, it exists on the ground and on the web. In this world of information overload and people doing their own research at home we have to evolve in the ways we provide reference service.
One thing that won't change soon.....print is our secret weapon!
