One of the primary tenets of Library 2.0 is going where the users are. Last summer, my colleague Susan and I decided to put this idea into action by developing some new services that embody this philosophy. Dealing with college students as we do, most of whom (the traditional aged ones at least) have grown up with the internet, we see that it has for better or worse influenced their expectations with respect to library services. Rather than being daunted by this fact, we viewed it as a challenge to develop library services that reside in their social spaces. Our work is ongoing but nevertheless we wanted to share two of our projects today and describe their planning, development and implementation.
