If the libraries are to keep the coming generation
of library patrons, we must all the
time tackle the latest media forms. The Danish
library service is well under way with
web 2.0. And although from time to time
we have met with resistance during our intensified
dialogue with the users, we have
gained a great deal of experience which
will help secure the libraries a place in the
future.
Social technologies
in practice
The web 2.0 wave has left traces all over
the Danish library world after the massive
development of broadband started in
earnest in 2004, and net ‘behaviour’ has
since changed considerably as a consequence.
The traditional use of the Internet for
information search is still there, but it has
been overshadowed by the new use of the
net as communication platform.
The growth in social technologies bears
witness to that.
