Now that you have been working with a few web 2.0 tools (and tricks!), it seems like a good time to explore some perspectives on Web 2.0 and an extension of it--Library 2.0.
Library 2.0 is term used to describe a new set of concepts for developing and delivering library services. The name, as you may guess, is an extension of Web2.0 and shares many of its same philosophies and concepts including harnessing the user in both design and implementation of services, embracing constant change as a development cycle over the traditional notion of upgrades, and reworking library services to meet the users in their space, as opposed to ours (libraries).
