Thing 22

Have only had time so far to dip into the material relating to Web and Library 2.0 respectively. My attention was immediately caught by the stated Library 2.0 principle that 'Libraries embrace radical trust'. No doubt because 'part of the appeal of the term ‘radical trust’ is its quasi-moralistic/spiritual/revolutionary tone'! (Chan, 2006). Have started doing some reading about this, and moved through a reaction of distaste when I found the application of the concept in a marketing context to remaining interested in how this idea applies to how we manage library collections. Will continue reading in this area.
