Week 6 Thing 15

Library 2.0 makes us look critically at the collection of books we have "just in case." Reference books information can be found so much more easily online. The reference section of the library could be cut down substantially.

Library 2.0 also makes changes in the physical nature of a library. Before people had to go to the library to read from expensive journals and other informational books that were too expensive for most to buy. Now these items can be found at the patron's home through the web.
