Lets talk about Library 2.0

This weeks discussion is centered around Reference Services -- what is our idea of providing valuable reference services to our patrons. When we think of library reference services are we assuming that the interaction always has to occur in a face-to-face setting? How can we provide reference services 24 hrs a day? How can we reach out to the Internet generation? People browsing our website? Where else can we reach the patrons?

I'm going to provide a few links to other blogs that provide discussion about Library 2.0. We will be reading much about Library 2.0, Web 2.0 and other services to provide over the Internet to inspire ideas that might help us discover new ways to reach patrons.
