Stephen Abram, SLA Pres, on 2.0 Learning Programs

Hear what Stephen Abram, President-Elect of SLA, says about learning 2.0 programs and new technologies. Some question he answers:

1) What are the big changes for libraries that a 23 Things program addresses?
2) What would you say to staff who are trying to fit the program into their day?
3) What would you say to a group about to embark on a Learning 2.0 program?
