2.0, or Is the Emperor Wearing Anything?

I've spent the better part of yesterday afternoon trying to digest and assimilate a myriad of discussions about Library 2.0. My conclusion is that it's too soon to tell. Particularly since this is only Thing #15 and I've got a bunch left. Initial thoughts, though, are that new doesn't necessarily mean good. Or, more to the point, good for everyone. Folksonomies are fine for cataloging your private book stash but make little sense in the context of a library. Give me the taxonomy any day. I fear that this has become the new "grandstand" notion that we are all expected to jump on. For now, I'll reserve full judgment and post more on this at the end.
