Library 2.0 and beyond

For research and personal interest purposes I have bought (and recently received) a new book on the subject of Library 2.0 called "Library 2.0 and Beyond". I will also be trying very hard to get my hands on Phil Bradley's book on the same topic.

I am also waiting for University of Brighton's, Jon Dron's book - which is the only one of the three you can actually have a flick through on Amazon.

Ironic isn't it. For books on 2.0 - some publishers (or perhaps the author had something to do with it?) are clearly more on the ball than others.

You can access links to Phil Bradley's blogs and read the blurb on Google Books (if you have a gmail account) but I can't find anything 2.0-ish on Nancy Courtney's "Library 2.0 and Beyond" though.

It's a complex world and all that but it's still a bit...

Library resources and e-learning...or not!

This is just in:

"Just exactly what do non-librarians think of the myriad library databases they can access courtesy of their local library. Not much apparently. Well, they certainly don’t think of the library’s resources as learning tools."
