What Library 2.0 Can Teach Archives 2.0

Michael Stephens, blogging over at Tame the Web, has posted an interview he had with Special Libraries Associations' IT Bulletin Digital Focus in which he discusses, among other things, his views and predictions on Library 2.0. Although long, it is still a very good read, filled with ideas that those in the archives profession contemplating Archives 2.0 should consider.

I mention Stephens' blog post because in the past few weeks there has been a healthy discussion in the Archives blogosphere about Archives 2.0 - what it could be, what it could do for archives and archivists, what it would mean to researchers and future users - and the Archives profession in the Web 2.0 era.

Kate over at ArchivesNext started the discussion with her interesting blog post "Archives 2.0?" and several other bloggers (including yours truly....wink wink) made thoughtful comments. Be sure to read the blog post and comments - and submit a comment as well.

As someone who has been calling for change in Archives in regards to Web 2.0 adoption (its values and ethics and technology usage) both from this blog and currently from this dismal unemployment chair, I believe these discussions on Archives 2.0 is the correct course of action. But these discussions must be followed up with concrete strategies.

Archives 2.0 will not be Library 2.0. Archives 2.0 will not merely mirror the actions taken by our colleagues in libraries. No, Archives 2.0 must grasp the values and ethics of Web 2.0, understand the Web 2.0 technologies, and then muster up the courage and envision how these elements can solve the problems facing archives and archivists.

What good is a Fan page if you cant even get any fans right? You could either spend weeks advertising your page and trying to get people to become a fan or you could go the easy route and just buy facebook fans.The advantage of buying fans is it saves you hours of time by having some else get you fans without you even touching anything. You could also target the right audience as well if you really wanted to. Lets just say you have a business page with a few fans. You could buy 1000 fans fairly cheap which lasts the lifetime of your business and who you could also make sales to.You can spend money and waste time trying to get fans yourself or you could Buy Facebook Fans Today and begin making sales as early as tomorrow. Every Business is different and some just don't need any advertising what so ever due to how large of a name they have, for example TacoBell.

When people think social media, most people may think of a particular social network. Twitter, buy Facebook fans, Linked-in, and MySpace might come to mind.

If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence. See the link below for more info.
