Selling this to the masses

I really liked the screencast called "Library 2.0? No, Thank you!"  Many of the obstacles they pointed out are my obstacles, and I think they presented very creative workarounds for the problems.  I can really relate to technical obstacles since I don't control the web server and have to beg the lone IT guy we have to make any changes.  At least he is open to open source software!

After the screencast, I was encouraged to try many of the things I learned in this class including starting a blog for my faculty and redoing our library website.  I am also exploring the whole social networking concept as I look to mounting digital collections on the library website.  What can I carry over from places like Second Life that will work to put gallery talks together?  I found it very helpful to have many ideas to draw on as I plot the digital future of my library.
