One of the key issues facing libraries is that we are very quick at adopting new technology but unfortunately very slow at adapting our performance measures accordingly. We still primarily measure our success in terms of the old-fashioned book library.
The Learning 2.0 program is an important step in the transformation of the library mindset. The incentive of a prize is a good motivation for individuals , but perhaps what we really need is a commitment from management to make this training an essential part of working in a library.
This would entail regularly setting aside blocks of time for staff to progress with their learning.
Perhaps Web2 work should be one of our official objectives, to be rewarded in the performance aappraisal process rather than an optional add-on luxury. Blogging as a compulsory duty rather than a guilty pleasure, anyone?
Beyond Web2 lies the tantalising prospect of Web3D: full virtual interactivity with resources. Bring it on.
