Library 2.0: the Dark and the Light?
On one side of the room, we've got Sarah Clark's two posts on the "dark side" of Library 2.0:
The Dark Side of Library 2.0, Part 1: "It's the Patron, Stupid!"
The Dark Side of Library 2.0, Part 2: new bridges...new divides?
On the other side of the room, we've got Laura Cohen's rebuttal to Sarah's posts:
Is There a "Dark Side" to Library 2.0?
Laura's overall argument is that while Sarah raises some good points, her concerns really have nothing to do with Library 2.0.
Not to sound wishy-washy, but I think both of them make important points. In the end, I'm inclined to agree with Laura that the "dark side" Sarah's worried about isn't really a dark side to Library 2.0. But I'm eager to hear what other people think about this. Is there a "dark side" to L2.0? If there is, is it what Sarah's writing about?
