Web 2.0

Okay, I have read about 2.0. Clearly we have a long way to travel in terms of library services and systems - thank you for forcing me to see the level of customisation people are used to in creating their "normal" information environment. Clearly the environment offered by library systems are absolutely not designed for this level of customisation. Customisation needs a LOT of user input and very little user skill. You pick from "canned" choices so those choices have to be pretty "gee whiz" to actually make you want to do it. Intersting to see if they's download encore widget or whether we should see if we can incorporate encore widget into the super search widgets already available (for amazon, wikkipedia etc on one button). Probably we need to do both.
