# 7 Blog about technology

“Library 2.0…it’s not primarily about machines and software: it’s about using the best tools and ideas to provide the best possible service to our users”


[A presentation by Marylaine Block
for the British Colombia Library Association , April 19, 2007
]



The Learning 2.0 program is all about teaching you how to use web 2.o tools, and some of these tools you may may find useful to help deliver services in the library.


For Exercise #7, simply blog about anything technology related.
Yes, it can be anything that relates to technology!
You just need to share a few thoughts.



Perhaps you might like to talk about 'Creating Content' , or a technology you now rely on to perform everyday tasks.
Try for at least 100-150 words.



We have all come along way using technology in a very short time. Can you remember learning to use a computer and a mouse (!!!), and having to send an email instead of faxing a memo?
Imagine now having to cope without these technologies

Does anyone recall the old joke about Roadies ? You know the one about how many it takes to change a light globe . I mention this as it occurs to me at times a similiar thing can be true of Librarians and technology . How many did it use to take to process a reseravtion lets say or re new an item ?? No not a committee yet I can remember in the dark ages it took at least one in a full time position to administer the whole operation . Now not so much as how many but how long does it take one of us to process such a request ? Even for someone like me 30 seconds is adequate .
