Blog On

     I particularly liked Rick Anderson’s comments. I know many subjects have better coverage in print format, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to convince students of that fact. I like the Library 2.0 options where the librarian can capture the students’ attention through blogs, online pathfinders, and databases. The number of students any librarian can reach is limited, as Rick also pointed out, so by having the information online in some 2.0 format will allow access to those who may take advantage of the opportunity.I was happy to read that most of us in the information field have similar feelings of frustration in reaching the public. One of the downfalls to the Internet is now everyone believes they can find what they need by Googling it. Granted this wouldn’t be as much of an issue if they knew how to evaluate websites. With the interactive options of Library 2.0, there is the ability to make it easy enough for students to access good information if they are interested.Mich
