Undestanding Library 2.0- Thing 2

Web 2.0 tools make it easy to create content and share it creatively via the Internet. In our business, we employ an extensive intranet, available to our hospital staff. We'll be able to create useful content and vehicles for communication. In his video, Stephen Abram is passionate about such possibilities and I found myself intrigued by his idea of "unintended consequences". I take that to be a good thing.

The key principles of Library 2.0 are not just about access to books and information as we think about libraries. It is about innovation, people, and community building, enabled through the participation in this concept of social computing.
