I've read all of the articles, and I think there are some good ideas here. Libraries, of course, have always triedto meet the needs of the community, and be relevent. The collaboration and shared network space components of Web2.0 can certainly be applied to library service. I think initiatives like the Open World Catalog (OCLC) are most interesting, and I think we could build on the ideas of Library Thing. And there are, of course, obvious applications for reference ( especially del.icio.us and the custom search engine). I'm all for patrons adding tags or reviews to the catalog, but--as an Old Reference Librarian--I sincerely hope that we still use controlled subject headings!
