Making Time for Web 2.0

…how do I have time for this new stuff" (ie, blogs, wikis, IM, and other social networking things)? How do i find a pattern in this all chaos… record and edit podcasts and videoblogs, time to takeweb20pictoweb.gif photographs and manipulate them in graphics editing programs, etc...

David Lee King has a great post about and answer for question on Making Time for Web 2.0.  He has broken out his tips into 2 groups - one for admins & one for staff.

For the Admins:
Library administrators and managers need to lead this change in their organizations. One way they can do this is to provide time, equipment, and training in order to successfully implement these new tools into the library's digital space.

Tips for For Front-Line Staff:
 "We don't have enough staff to do these new things." When I hear this excuse (because that's really what it is), I think back to the NEKLS Technology Day I attended. I was on a discussion panel with a librarian at a small library. She is the ONLY staff member at her library, and yet she has time for a library blog and console gaming
nights. If a one-librarian library can do these things, then you can, too. Sometimes it's not really a staffing change that's needed; instead, a mental change, or a change in focus, is what's needed.


That's the whole point - a mental change is needed! Peoples need to realize the wealth of information out there  - and it can be found simply by taking 20 minutes out of your day to read through the librar* blogs that are out there.
