Methods 1 and 2

I just watched the video "Stephen Abram launches Murdoch University’s 23 Things" and found it relevant for libraries and librarians today. Mr. Abram discusses a 23-step program to prepare librarians for the challenges we face in this period of enormous change. Two statements he made resonated with me: He said we must immerse ourselves in the technology of Web 2.0 in order to understand it, and he used the phrase "experience-based learners" to describe the process of acquiring this understanding.
I also recently read an article by Mr. Abram entitled "Social Libraries: The Libraian 2.0 Phenomenon." This article went into more detail about the skills the Librarian 2.0, whom he calls "the guru of the information age" needs to acquire.
