Personally I suggest all librarians should wait until they are upgraded to
librarian 2.0 or thereabouts to avoid issues on incompatibility with any
reading material - could only lead to trouble.
Have a very good weekend,

Hello all,
Everyones homework for the weekend is to make sure they understand all
of concepts Tom introduced so succintly!
NHS Libraries 2.0 can also be thought of as the new version of NHS
Libraries (as in a software version number). This is more about
different ways of looking at the way we work rather than in terms of
broader organisational changes.
People might be interested in this discussion on pushing RSS to medics
on the blog of Michael Stephens (a US Librarian who is very interested
in Library 2.0 matters)
http://tametheweb.com/2006/06/ttw_mailbox_selling_rss_to_med.html
I am hoping that the RSS reader in the mylibrary section of NLH will be
rapidly improved to the point that it offers sufficient functionality to
allow us to promote RSS through that site.
Cheers
Alan

>From what I gather, the concept of Library 2.0 is about encouraging an
active dialogue between the LIS and its clients, through the use of Web
2.0 technologies (e.g. RSS, Blogging, XML etc..).
>From a technological perspective it seems implicit that some form of
standardisation will have to be implemented. A point that Tom
illustrates well in his response. Indeed, the very nature of XML-based
technologies such as RSS demand adherence to standards (e.g. Atom, RSS
2.0).
So where can I see this all in action?
Ann Arbor District Library (http://www.aadl.org/), Michigan, USA
provides a good example. Here, the main page of the Library site assumes
the form of a blog. The Library uses this to encourage a dialogue with
its users.
So how will NHS Libraries 2.0 emerge? My thought would be through the
increased use of information skills education. This would help develop
the second key pillar to the whole process: an empowered library user.
A combination of technology adoption and user training will be the key
to raising the profession to a dynamic and exciting new level.
Hope this helps
Andy

It might be easy to answer, but is the answer easy to understand?
'mash-ups'? I think I'd rather have a Delia-like 'gently folded in'

Subject: Library 2.0 (was Re: Ben Toth)
The first question is fairly easy to answer, Library 2.0, by analogy
with Web 2.0, its the use of technology to transform library systems
from the monolithic beasts we have known so far into what Lorcan Dempsey
has described as "recombinant" services, bringing together disparate
data, allowing user tagging, creating mash-ups and making the
much-vaunted personalisation a reality. NHS Libraries 2.0 is the
application of that to NHS LIS.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_2.0
The Library 2.0 movement can be criticised for over-emphasis on OPACs at
the expense of other services, and, as the wikipedia article mentions,
for trying to portray as new practices and concepts that the best among
us have always operated.
As for your second question, ow will NHS Libraries 2.0 emerge? It's for
NHS librarians to shape this, I would think. Tom

Dear All
Please see the following announcement that I have just received from
Fran Wilkie for dissemination to your networks.
Ben Toth, the Joint Director of the National Library for Health, has
announced that he will be leaving Connecting for Health shortly. He will
maintain an advisory role to the Library. 'It's been great fun
developing the NeLH and the NLH, but I promised my family I would change
my work activities two years ago,' Dr Toth said. 'The NLH programme is
now well developed, based on an overall service architecture, a
commissioning and performance framework, and continuing professional
development for library staff. I look forward to the emergence of NHS
Libraries 2.0 over the next few years.'
