Some thoughts from the perspective pieces:
1) 'Into a new world of librarianship' - I actually laughed out loud when I read Librarian 2.0 controls technolust - "This librarian does not buy technology for the sake of technology" - um, you might not, but others sure do (or at least write journal articles about it). Many librarians seemingly look at how the newest tech toys can be utilised in libraries, just because it will make libraries 'hip' with Gen Y. And don't get me started on Second Life...
2) 'To better bibliographic services' - I quite liked the ideas expressed in the Package and push metadata section, about making resources more discoverable, and packaging / pushing library content to users via RSS feeds. After all, how will users know what services and content we offer if we get the information to them?
3) 'To more powerful ways to cooperate' - Just from personal experience, the "data is the new Intel inside" mantra from Build better data rings very true for me. The better quality your records, the more discoverable and tranferable they are.
