# 2 Lifelong learning

This week was a nice simple overview of the program. After going through the 7 1/2 habits of learning I would have to say that the easiest habit is to “Accept responsibility for your own learning”. The hardest one is “Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner”.
Looking at the definitions of Learning 2.0, Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 was useful. I was particularly captivated by a quote by Sarah Houghton “Library 2.0 simply means making your library’s space (virtual and physical) more interactive , collaborative, and driven by community needs. Examples of where to start include blogs, gaming nights for teens, and collaborative photo sites. The basic drive is to get people back into the library by making the library relevant to what they want and need in their daily lives…to make the library a destination and not an afterthought.”
