Public libraries are much more complicated. My models are in some ways quite limited as they focus on the perspective of a traditional undergraduate student. Community Colleges and other institutions serving more diverse student bodies will need to examine their own student bodies to discover what iteractions they would like to perform on their libraries websites. Personally, I think library 2.0 services have the potential to make a greater difference in the lives of part-time and distance education students than they will for traditional full-time students. I am not sure if a parrallel model can be developed for public libraries. That is why I am working to develop a general library 2.0 concept model that is broader in scope. I look forward to hearing your comments on that upcoming model and will be interested to see if you think it is broad enough to capture both public and academic library patrons while remaining specific enough to the ideals of library 2.0. It is my belief that Library 2.0 is in no ways a replacement of traditional library services, but that it is instead both supplementary and evolutionary, I agree entirely.
