Do any of you remember Alvin Toffler's book "Future Shock", written in 1970? Toffler's shortest definition of future shock is "a personal perception of too much change in too short a period of time." I think that is how many of us (librarians and customers) are feeling right now.
Library 2.0 is just the current jargon to mean that the library is continuing to evolve and change at an even faster pace than it has in the recent past (see my previous post). That is the way of the Information Age, and there is no way to put that genie back into the bottle. Instead, we need to focus on ways to make this experience of change a positive one for all of us.
