Library 2.0, web 2.0 and Talis

By chriskeene | November 20, 2005

Really just pointing to other places on the web regarding Talis’ recent talk and paper on the idea of library 2.0, based on the ideas behind 2.0. I found most of these after doing a search on Technorati.

ALA techsource: Do Libraries Matter: On Library & Librarian 2.0
‘Infomation takes over’: Library 2.0 at Talis Insight 2005
The shifted librarian: Prepare Yourself for Library 2.0
Library Crunch: who controls it?

The original paper can be found here.

I don’t have much to say on it, it certainly seems like the right direction (though it is so hard to know what is the right direction). My main complaint about Talis is that for the last year or so they have made lots of noise about rss/blogs/cool web things, but their flagship web product, Prism (web interface to library catalogue) has been sitting there with no new releases. I want to see some of these ideas in to Prism asap.
