Thing 15 Week 6 : Library 2.0

I've read through a number of articles about Learn 2.0 & watched few videos. It is good to know that Library 2.0 attempts to harness the library user in the design & implementation of Library Services by encouraging feedback and participation. That also includes online services such as the use of OPAC systems and an increased flow of information from the user back to the library.
It is quite easy to google when I'm looking for something rather than going through the related book as it takes a while & you need to have the proper book.
With any amount of improvement in the technology & usage of internet , book lovers would still prefer to have a book in hand rather looking on to the computer screen. For instance the projects given to kids in school, they ask for information collected from 2 to 3 different sources, in that case we need both internet as well as a book. So it is hard to say whether internet will overtake the usage of books? I would say they should go hand in hand!!
I'm very greatful for the people who provided this program, through these I'm improving on my internet knowledge.
