One thought on web 2.0

In the article "To Better Bibliographic Resources" they discuss the Open Worldcat Project and how it can “avoid the duplication of records in search result displays that would occur if every consortium were acting individually.” They also discuss the strengths of data customization and advancements in patron access. I think that one of the main strengths of the web 2.0 movements is the advancement of teamwork within the library community. Why should we each duplicate each others work when we can work together to serve a wider patron group in a more efficient manner?
