Web 2.0

I looked at two articles. The first article (Away from Icebergs) hit an accord with me since we are in the age where technology is much more dominant as oppose to printed materials. Everything in this time and age rely mostly on technology to do their projects and so fort. Others use downloadable books to read as opposed to borrowing printed books from the library.

The second article ( To a temporary place and time), I think that the writer has a point that library is not just about books and information. She wrote and I quote "Libraries are not merely in communities, they are communities: they preserve and promote community memories; they provide mentors not only for the exploration of stored memory, but also for the creation of new artifacts of memory." She also mentioned that we cannot stray and rely solely on technology and we can still offer things that are not technology based alone.

With these two articles, if we combine them both, we can utilize web 2.0 technologically and non-technological purpose. We can offer them with knowledge that is gathered online or any resources that comes from different sources as opposed to computers.
