Funny I should've mentioned managing yesterday...

A discussion just came up on ning.com's Library2.0 community about "manager2.0" - creating a library2.0 environment (if you aren't yet on ning.com & in the Library2.0 community, what on earth are you waiting for? when you do, friend me, I'll be happy to reciprocate!). Bob K. offered this opening post:

Reading Helen Blowers' CIL wrap-up blog entry and reflecting on many posts here prompted me to think about creating an environment where 2.0 can flourish. What are its attributes? How can we achieve it? And if we are not part of management, what can we do to change ourselves that will force management and coworkers to be more receptive to the 2.0 message?Here's a reading list (I like webliographies):* Creating Passionate Users: Manager 2.0* Free Range Librarian: Management 2.0 and the Trumpeter in the Attic ...


So I read the Creating Passionate Users blog posting & then noticed a not completely unrelated posting on the same blog about social contagion & negativity. It's great, I highly recommend it - it reminds us of the role that we all play in making the world a better place. It drove home the point that everyone can help to build Library2.0... even if they're the sole proponent and they're non-managerial - they can build a little bit of Library2.0 in their environment... and it will spread!
