Finale

Well - I hope I've completed everything. Thank you so much for a great session with 'Web 2.0'. I thoroughly enjoyed it - quick, relevant, and some fun things to do.
I do think there is a definite place for this in libraries. More and more we are moving on to the 'net, and we mustn't lose out. If we dedicate resources - staff and time - to it, the rest is relatively cheap! No paper. No photocopying. No ink. No telephoning. Access by the patrons as and when they feel like it. Using today's technology. Huge numbers of people (still can't get over the 38,000 likes for that Art and Architecture Library) can be reached at once. Still their choice - but we have 'links' and advertising online, and 'friends' - who all help to make that choice.
