The 2.0 of it all

There are plenty of ways to expand service in library 2.0 style through the widgets, wikis and mash-ups being spawned daily but one way I would love to see our library system take a step towards the future roles envisioned in the articles from NextSpace would be taking advantage of how popular text messaging is with younger age groups, yes I'm talking about librarians with Blackberry's attached to their hips replying to questions that teens ask via their cell phones and IM devices. It'd be a great way to have our services be available through another medium. And being able to serve more people in more ways is really what we're all after and what the 2.0 of it all is about, right?
