nothing in 2.0 is a serious research tool. It is just fun stuff for teens and housewives who need an outlet.
The stuff is not searchable in any efficient way and the posters are just having some fun.

I will say that Google docs is valuabel and some blogs run by professional society. but otherwise it is just kids stuff.

The MLIS is your ticket to a lifetime of low wages, low status and a bunch of tight lipped women.

Can anyone explain the 2.0 cult? I guess I don’t understand why it’s so freakishly fawned over?

TwoQatz, perhaps I wasn’t clear. It’s another librarian who need the handholding. It’s pretty sad, and even more frustrating.

Well, Grrrr, I didn’t even address the young and agile farts who use our library. The ones who can’t figure out how to print, how to find a book on the shelf, how to use a photocopier, saving documents to a flash drive, how to locate ANY sort of periodical literature, how to “find” the Internet (click on the IE link???), etc. The young aren’t necessarily as adept as they like to think they are. If I wasn’t so busy hand-holding our youngsters, I might be able to finish that tutorial a faculty member asked me to create.

“Academic librarians afraid of their computers? In which library would I find such doddering old farts?”

Mine. Can’t even manage to attach a PDF to an email without handholding.

“If you perform and your management acknowledges that…”

There’s the rub.

Academic librarians afraid of their computers? In which library would I find such doddering old farts? (I speak as one who has passed the 50 year mark.) You cannot move ahead in any profession if you are not keeping up with technological advances. You can’t know it all, but know some and work your tail off. If you perform and your management acknowledges that, you’ll never have problems finding a job. BTW – whining doesn’t help. Life’s hard. Get over it.

No way. The student doesn’t exist. You made that student up for the sake of the blog.
