For me, the most important result of going through the Learning 2.0 process has been the opportunity to be guided step by step through so many new resources, and to see what they can do for you and for your library. The pace of technological change is so rapid that it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the advent of more and more options; you feel a bit like "Alice in Wonderland" running faster and faster to stay in the same place, uncomfortably aware that you're slipping behind in the change process.
This programme has picked out the best and most universal applications and given us concrete examples of what they do and who uses them well; that's been inspiring for us and at our library we are already planning to implement some Web 2.0 options. We are talking blogs, podcasts, Delicious bookmarks, Library Thing and much more.
Sometimes I used to look at the web pages of big US libraries and get envious about the staff, money and time they had to put their fabulous pages together but the participative nature of Web 2.0 means we can use so many of these resources for no cost. You don't need to pay licence fees for Delicious or Library Thing or any of the other programmes, all you need are enthusiastic staff who are confident with Web 2.0 and all its possibilities- and Learning 2.0 has certainly made sure of that.
