I think that web 2.0 is good for librarians, I think that technology helps librarians and does not cause any problems for librarians. People know how to do simple research and internet searches but still need librarians to help with specific searches and finding information on specific topics. Library Media Specialists are still a wealth of information and are "specialists" for that very reason.
What are the implications of this trend for librarians?
This trend just means that librarians are going to have toe become more technological and be able to help students and library patrons advance as technology advances. Librarians are no longer just shelving and running libraries. They are responsible for so much more especially when it involves technology.
Also, for additional food for thought, go to your Delicious site and examine your list of tags. In your opinion, are these tags more or less helpful than traditional subject headings?
I think the delicious tags are more specific and allow you to break down information in an easier format. Delicious tags are good for teachers because it allows you to narrow down the specific areas you are looking for. It also allows you to have flexibility on different computers and helps you keep your bookmarks organized. I like that if I am looking for a specific math website in my delicious book marks it allows me to search other tags to see what other teachers are using. It allows you to be more specific when searching tags.
