thing 18
Using googledocs as an in house spread sheet might make annual budgeting easier if everyone could see the direction it was going. Great help too in getting out information from departments. I can see this as being helpful with updates, etc.
item 16
A wiki is only as good as the people adding the information. As a resource tool for people of like interests, specific literature, art, etc it is great. If it is a one person wiki it is nothjing more than an editorial page for that person and the information can be slanted or totally incorrect.
If you choose to use a wiki as a starting point for a project or interest, fine. To make sure the information is correct more research will have to be done. Libraries, librarians and the information they have available may be a bit less "tainted"!
A wiki is a toolo like any other tool. Used incorrectly it can hurt you.

Thing 15
In regards to 2.0. In essence, nothing new to libraries. We, libraries, have had to continually adapt to changes in technology, culture, pop-culture and in general world trends. We do it well. We are still the best bang for your buck in town we just have to sell this concept(again). Where else can you get any information as free as in your library?illo

Thing 14
I am pasting the following which if found via technorati! A comment follows!
"My plan this evening was to write a beautifully coherent post about many of the websites, tools, and strategies that I’ve heard about at Internet Schools West the last two days. But just as I was starting to write, there was an earthquake here in Monterey, so I had to leave the room and sit downstairs for awhile. "
Most evenings, as a Library Director I have things to do! Attend meetings, schmooze or generally have a good time with friends and family. Why in the world would I want to spend the evening writing "blogerisms!"
