About Me:: Business:
Some people know they're librarians from the beginning, some have it thrust upon them. I kinda had it thrust upon me. I've done many things from teaching English Literature to 9th & 10th graders to working in dotcoms before the bust, but have been in libraries for the majority of my life, doing everything from paging to director. Right now, I'm the Computer Services Librarian for the Clearwater Public Library System.

Personal:
I live in Clearwater with my 2 dogs and my housemate. Love Florida; can't wait to move out of Suburban Hell into Tampa.

What is Your Interest in Library 2.0 (not yes or no): The concepts more than the labels. Finding the sticky and the useful from the chafe.

I'm just writing up my thesis on the lack of engagement of UK public libraries with Library 2.0 and would be interested to learn how things went for you.
Kind regards
Sarah

I'm not a fan of the terms "Web 2.0" or "Library 2.0" either. I'm partial to the "social web" -- seems more descriptive w/o the version number connotation. Welcome!
