Learning 2.0

So far I am enjoying the experience of learning 2.0. I am already quite computer literate and am familiar with blogs and flickr etc. I hope to delve deeper into these new collaborative environments and gain a deeper grounding and experience more benefits from this. I'm also hoping to learn how other information proffesionals are benefiting from this course. For someone who has been studying for a very long time and who works in the information industry, lifelong learning is a key desire. Not only do I want to keep learning, gain wider experiences personally but I would like to do better that I have done previously in encouraging others to pursue lifelong learning. Ive discovered and found other library related blogs as well as obviously personal friends blogs related to overseas trip's etc. They are just great forums with ease of access for communicating in the digital age. The formats and layouts are very easy to use and navigate.

There will be a place for blogs in libraries, because I have noticed that our society is moving towards communicating differently, especially with these virtual mediums. The younger generations have been at the forefront of these changes too. Hence to keep interest among these groups, then blogs will be a valuable tool for users to interact with libraries in new ways. In the future there may be opportunities to blog to clients.
