Minitex just sent out a link to this article by a librarian from Gustavus.
http://insidehighered.com/views/2008/02/18/fister
It and the comments (at least as of 2:56 p.m. on 2/21/08) are worth reading.
It brings points that I too have been wondering about
--free information, free access, but what is the real price....who is cacheing the data about what we click on and what are they going to do with it
--protecting one's identity online. I think we need more guidelines and 23 Things could be a place to do this.
--all the issues with intellectual property and journal access etc.
--librarians and libraries as the purveyors and protectors of our information access rights.

Some things about Thing 2 and Thing 18
Thing 2:
Stephen Abram is so right, especially about learning these 2.0 tools...it has to be experience-based learning. You don't know until you do it!
He also spoke about unintended consequences and I think that this is very important in all learning...what ever mode or medium. Serendipity can be quite useful to learning and creativity. He also emphasized the importance of relecting on what you are learning.
"The Ongoing Web Revolution" article from Library Technology Reports (Sept-Oct 2007) was useful for the YouTube video "Web 2.0.. The Machine Is Us/ing Us" (which I think is linked in Thing 18) but you should see it now! I thought it was especially useful for making the distinction between html (format only) and xml. (form and content) though there is much more to learn about this.
Als, here is one of the favorite library related YouTube videos I've ever been clued in to, Introducing the Book (also known as Medieval Helpdesk)....relevant to adjusting to new technologies.
