Thing 2 Library 2.0

I watched Abram's video and read Blyberg's blog post and needed time to process it. In looking at some other links on library 2 I found a site called The Shifted Librarian. All of a sudden it started to make more sense to me.

She talked about time shifting (recording shows, movies) to watch later at our convenience. She also talked about consumers transfering music files from other sources to MP3 players as space shifting of music already owned.

We don't go looking for information, it now comes to us from everywhere. A lot of what we get,we don't care about or don't need, but what we want is also delivered in new and more efficient ways. So now I need to as an elementary librarian/media specialist find ways to safely deliver these concepts to my students. I am still processing on some of these ideas. I am also working on ways I can make make my space and materials more portable. Many of my ideas are based on the website: http://theshiftedlibrarrian.com/stories/2000/01/19/whatIsAShiftedLibrarian.html

My only other comment is this this post has about 4 hours of work (looking at links, videos, and other things) involved in it. I have found some great sites I didn't know about, but I don't always have this kind of time either.
