The buzz word around libraries at the minute is Web 2.0. I know many of my colleagues embarked on this process many months ago - and now it is my turn!

So while I can't say I am completely new to the whole internet thing - OK, I admit it: I'm on Facebook and My Space, I have a flickr account, I post to message boards (irregularly, granted), I even met my husband in a roundabout-way through an email list group - so I know the power and far-reaching capabilities of the world wide web - but I can't say I have fully realised (or thought too hard about to be honest) the impact it can and is having on the library world.

I am hoping that by imbarking on this New South Wales Public Libraries Learning 2.0 program that will all change, and I will be introduced to many new things, along with furthering my knowledge of those things I have merely dabbled in.
