Away from the “icebergs” : Row your library boat into the Web 2.0 environment by Rick Anderson, Director of Resource Acquisition, University of Nevada, Reno Libraries, made three good points.
The “just in case collection" points out that it may no longer make sense to “collect” in the traditional sense at all.
"Reliance on user education" is no longer (and maybe never was) applicable to libraries. Most libraries are poorly equipped and insufficiently staffed for teaching these new technologies.
The “come to us” model of library service is out-moded. As he states, the Web 2.0 gets libraries in the business of "placing library services and content in the user’s preferred environment."
