Never say never!

Some staff heard me express my discomfort with "loosey-goosey, willy-nilly, and helter-skelter" management/supervisory techniques recently. It seems that as we embrace Library 2.0 there could be a lot more of that in our professional futures. The good news is that there is all this interest and excitement being generated around the concepts and technologies of Library 2.0. But frankly, I can't imagine our library in a perpetual "beta" test. Instead we need to figure out how and where to take advantage of the legitimate opportunities for responsible entrepreneurship--for example "23 Things"! We need to stay committed to the values of planning, accountability and analysis, and leadership as we operate in this incredibly rich environment. It's shaping up to be a very exciting future for the libray world. I guess we could safely say, there will be no fuzzy-wuzzy in our future, either.
