This is a collection of videos we are watching in class today. Drawing on the video content and the essays in the Courtney book, please discuss the following questions in your online groups.
1. What does Web 2.0 mean for librarians? Are they becoming superfluous?
2. What does Web 2.0 mean for citizens? Are there likely to be meaningful impacts on the political system as a whole, either evolutionary or revolutionary?
