Why does it fail?Why does it fail?
•The service or technology is not tied to the library’s mission or strategic goals
•It’s considered someone’s “pet project”•Services where the only cost is staff time are often not planned for strategically
•Once the newness wears off, people are less motivated to contribute
•Staff are not given dedicated time to work on new initiatives

Library 2.0 - My takeLibrary 2.0 - My take
•It’s a state of mind•Working to meet changing user needs•Trusting our users•Getting rid of the culture of perfect•Aware of emerging technologies and opportunities
•Looking outside of the library for applications, opportunities, and inspiration.
