A question came to mind while trying to absorb some of the reading– how does the Web 2.0 (basis for RSS, fPDAs, etc.) play a role in diffusion in the information and library environment ?
Needleman (2007, p. 203) sums it up pretty well:
- Services should be available at the point of need and not the other way around. Library services should be embedded.
- Data should be exposed, discovered, and manipulated in a variety of ways from the original reason the data came about.
- Applications should make available a number of resources. These applications should have rapid deployment and responsive to the user’s needs.
- We are facilitators for communication, community, and user participation. We need to be user centric.
- Enrich data and expose hidden collections.
Needleman was speaking in generalities but it is most appropriate for the health care professions.
