Library 2.0: An Academic's Perspective: The Ideal Library 2.0 Academic Library Web Site

So imagine an academic library Web site that does the following:

* Users participate in creating resource lists in the subject areas of their major or their research.
* Users contribute to research tips created by instruction or reference librarians.
* Users add to technical instructions for such activities as off-campus access, use of EndNote, using the library's printers, tips on working with workstation software, etc.
* Users comment on library services using the blogs linked to the pages of major services, e.g., reference, interlibrary loan, circulation, reserves, online catalog, Web site, general technology, physical plant, etc.

Library 2.0: An Academic's Perspective: The Ideal Library 2.0 Academic Library Web Site

During Frankfort Book Fir there was also a Panel on librarything.com (now avaliable in German) and some discussion on the panel whether crowdsourcing could replace the work of librarians. The gist was that the crowds could add and maybe even provide infromation that libtrarinans could not provide (for reason of sheer mass/money required).

My impression is that libraries start to be open to 2.0-ideas.
