These articles were excellent reading and great food for thought. The ideas that stood out most to me were, in no particular order:
* John Riemer advocating federated searching
* Michael Stephens iceberg warning regarding 'just in case' collections
* John Riemer (again) on using tagging in our catalogues and collaborative metadata along the lines of collaborative cataloguing
* Wendy Schultz' evocative descriptions of Library 3.0 and Library 4.0. My head hurts!
Of all of these, the idea that I'd like to explore further and that I think is within our reach, is reorganising the physical space in our libraries to make more room for people to come, use our resources comfortably and to just be. And looking seriously at our physical collections is definitely a way to do this, that is very do-able.
