The Editor's comments from this months Technology Review reminds me that when we change how we do something or when we add new technology or techniques, that the reason is to make things better. We are not interested in changing because we can, we change because it helps our patrons, or it helps us help our patrons, or it makes it easier for us to do our job or the patron to find the info they want.
When you think about it, isn't that what web 2.0/ Library 2.0 is about, innovation? i.e. allowing patron's access to make things easier for themselves. Who better to make the catalog better than the public who uses it?
