At my workplace our librarians have just finished a course modified from the “23 things” intro to web 2 technologies. Their reactions have been somewhat disappointing. Their reaction to tools like twitter is pretty close to vilification. I agree with your comments elsewhere that to encourage experimenting with new tech, introduce them as tools to get your job done, but passion and creativeness are also needed to “dream” and think ways tools like twitter could be applied to library services. Our librarians see twitter as a big bunch of nothing, or at best vapid etherial comments that have no context, when I think it could be a powerful tool for communicating with their communities, and so far I've found it fun.

As others have said you have a great, but I imagine sometimes, challenging job, or you would in my library!
