Web 2.0, Library 2.0, Learning 2.0
 whatever 2.0? 
Are you still in the dark about this 2.0 stuff? 
Well here's your chance to find out more.

In the last year the 2.0 movement has affected 
almost every industry and organization, but the 
changes that the "live web" has created are more 
than just a bunch of memes. User-generated 
content, collaboration, and online social 
networks have taken over the internet's highways 
and bandwidth that was once only dominated by 
searches on Google has turned into much, much 
more. So where do libraries fit into this new 
user-centric world? Join Helene Blowers, Public 
Services Technology Director for the Public 
Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County for a 
library administrator's overview of web 2.0 tools 
and learn about a free ready-to-launch Learning 
2.0 program that you can use to encourage your staff to explore.
