Different kinds of experiences lead to different brain structures. -Dr. Bruce D. Berry, Baylor

College of Medicine

“Children

raised

with

the

computer “think

differently

from

the

rest of us.

They

develop

hypertext

minds. They leap

around. It’s

as though

their

cognitive

structures

were

parallel, not sequential.”

. . . “Linear

thought

processes

that

dominate

educational systems

now

can actually

retard

learning

for

brains

developed

through game

and

Web-surfing

processes

on the

computer.”Tonta, Digital

Social

Networks as New Web Portals•

Social

networks: Web within

webs•

Using

Web 2.0, social

networks

provide

a single

point

of access to

various

serrvices

Facebook

has over

52,000 different

applications

Yahoo!, Google

and

Facebook users

spent

200 billion

minutes

(139 million

days) on these services

in one

month

(October

2008) •

Google’s

mission

is “to

organize

the

world’s

content”, social networks’

mission

is to

“organize

the

world’s

people”•

The

mission

is not to

create

virtual

destinations

but to

“build constellations”

by combining

“connectivity, communications, and content”

. . .when CNN saw the image it moved quickly to

confirm with Dutch officials that a crash had

happened. "Within minutes we were reporting on the story. We then confirmed with the Twitter user thatthe image was theirs and

took it to air. "This proves that social networking sites

can be a real asset in covering breaking news

and gathering eyewitness accounts but the web

should always be treated with extreme caution,"

Barnett said.

Web 2.0 + Library

= Library

2.0 (Miller, 2005)

Library 2.0 is a loosely defined model for a modernized form of library

service that

reflects a transition within the library world in the way that services are delivered to users.

The focus is on user-centered change and participation in the creation of content and community.

Moving

users

are

(work, learning, home

What

does

the

future

hold

for

libraries?•

Digital

natives

will

demand

information

sources

and

services

embedded

in their

work, study, and

social environments

Information

sources

and

services

will

be catered

to

the users

through

Web 2.0, Web 3.0 and

the

Semantic

Web

Information

services

will

be more

relationship-centric rather

than

resource-centric

(Lagoze, 2000)

Real & virtual

library

services

will

be provided

in parallel•

Permanent

preservation

of digital

information

will

be of

paramount

importance•

Education

for

information

will

be mashed

up

with

other

disciplines
