"Library 2.0 is a user-centered virtual community. It is a socially rich, often egalitarian electronic space. While Librarian 2.0 might act as a facilitator and provide support, he or she is not necessarily primarily responsible for the creation of the content."
That's a quote from a very informative article by Jack Maness on Library 2.0 Theory.The key concepts here are community and facilitator. Library 2.0 is about not only being responsive to our library users but allowing them real input into the shape of the library - and by this I mean the library as an information community existing in the virtual as well as the physical world. Wikis, blogs etc are just two of the tools that might be used to achieve this. Goodbye to the desk!
