At the Library web 2.0 thing I went to at the SLV the other day, I felt that part of my job was justified when a leader in the Library 2.0 field, Helene Blowers, recommended that librarians spend at 15 minutes a day "playing" online (here's her presentation).
The thing is, we all should.
Need more reasons? Try Kathryn Greenhill's 20 reasons why learning emerging technologies is part of every librarian’s job. Kathryn was also at the L2.0 thing @ SLV and I even got to walk around the block with her and some others of local L2 mafia like Michelle Mclean (name dropper).
Don't know where to start? Here's Helene's 23 Things to give your L2 learning some structure.

Yourtutor
Yourtutor is operational
Yourtutor is up and running for Frankston Library Service members. It's just been Blogalogued and should be linked from the library website soon (in the page header and from the Online Information page).
It's a free and professionally staffed online tutoring service for students from years 4 to 12.
Yourtutor creates an online classroom where students are connected to qualified, expert tutors for one-to-one help with homework, assignments, exam preparation and study questions. Help is provided for English, maths and science subjects, plus research and study skills.
The tutors are certified teachers, professional tutors, post graduates and advanced undergraduates from Australian universities. They can review specific homework and assignment questions with students online, using features like controlled chat, an interactive white board and shared web browsing.
Students can now communicate with tutors the way they love to learn – via the web - which makes the experience enjoyable as well as educational. Students can also get a print out of their session.
Yourtutor operates from 4 to 8 pm, Monday to Friday and it’s great!
