Here is a list of ten things that every library, no matter what their size, can do to implement 2.0 ideas for their patrons and community. These are low risk, low cost, low effort and common sense enhancements:
1. Have Firefox on all your public computers.
2. Add Del. ici.ous tags for all your bookmarks. No matter what, no matter where all your favorites will be right there. You can even point your patrons to them!
3. Have RSS feeds for lib news and programs so tech savy patrons get automatic updates when you introduce new things!
4. Encourage your staff to BLOG
5. Design a way to do info sharing with staff through internet BLOGs or Wikki's.
6.Collaborate with partners using Google Docs or Picasa (i.e. other libraries in your county)
7. Blog from your web page and allow public comments.
8. Keep a flickr page of interesting library pictures.
9. Allow IMing, gaming and YouTube on your public computers.
10. Engage your teens with the technology you're using.
