Beta is forever

I read a bunch of the articles and my favorite line is 'Beta is forever' referring to the state of constant change. I think libraries ARE responsive, and have always tried to be responsive to their users. Library 2.0 just means that we must be UBER-responsive. And it's good to question why things have been done a certain way. A clear example of Library 2.0 changes around here would include Reference, where we have let go of at least half the collection, yet provide the same or better service. Reference has just changed so much. Could we provide reference without Google? Well yes, but it is so much faster. The library's website is the next big thing to go 2.0. I am looking forward to how different it will be.
