Librarian 2.0

Although I am not technically a "librarian", I find myself doing many of the duties of a librarian because I work in the children's department. We do a lot of RA and try to come up with ways to make children want to read and come to the library. IMO-The most interesting line in this article by Michael Stephens is "Librarian 2.0 also listens to staff and users when planning, tells the stories of successes and failures, learns from both, celebrates those successes, allows staff time to play and learn, and never stops dreaming about the best library services". I think we put too many time constraints and "rules" on a job that we are 100% better at when we are having FUN! It seems like we only hear what we want to hear...and that is usually the negative stuff. That isn't a healthy attitude when we are in a continuously evolving field with almost endless resources. If the world wants us to embrace Web 2.0, then we first need to embrace this "Librarian 2.0".
