Article: Library 2.0 describes the next level of services a library will be required to provide in order to stay current with the ever changing technologies of today. The second article, 20 reasons why learning emerging technologies is part of every librarians job, looks at the "big picture" and the need for libraries to see themselves as viable businesses with much to offer the customer (patron) in the way of services in a highly competitive, and consumer driven world. People want to know "what can you offer me?"
Both articles I read were informative and gave me a better perspective on what KRL is trying to accomplish by having us learn all of these new "social computing" technologies. The sharing of information, no matter where you are in the world, are the stepping stones in community building.
