Nice image...Is it more an evolution than a spectrum? I don't think librarians would be going back to the left once they moved further toward the right...

sirexcat - I was originally thinking of something called the autism spectrum - all people with any type of asperger's syndrome or autism are on the spectrum, only in different places.

So I switched it to everyone's somewhere on the library 2.0 spectrum... timeline wasn't quite right, evolution might be...

open to suggestions!

Yeah..we know that spectrum well in our household :) And the L2 one too. I think it's splitting hairs to try and find the perfect name.

It's interesting to ponder whether there are times when librarians/libraries go backward on the scale. And whether there are branches that could happen after that "click" moment.

Getting really abstract..I think it's probably linear until that "click" moment, and then it should be fluid and experimental and maybe stop being linear at all.

Yes, it looks like a trajectory to me, or a development path. As sirexkat said, no one's moving to the left.

I love graphics like this!

I like it. Getting to the blogging bit is painless and easy if you have a management that understand and wants to change; beyond that it's kind a bit more scary and difficult.

"Able to play" can come before the end of the spectrum, though, as that can happen with the blogging phase. The blog itself can be an example of playing. See the Blogalogue as an example of this.

Interesting ideas.

What is it that causes the light bulb to go off, do you (anyone) think? Can we turn on other people's lights? Can "management" hasten the light-turning-on process? Does it have to come from within?
