What is Web 2.0?
Evolving web
User centric web
Driven by users for users
Not driven by corporations telling users what they want
Collaborative Processes (dialogue NOT monologue)
Collaborative learning (utilizing collective knowledge)
Multi-sensory communication
Text, video, audio, links, pictures, etc.

Multi-sensory Communication
Just a few Web 2.0 tools…

Why Web 2.0?
Some questions to ask:
What do your patrons want/need?
What does your library want/need?
How can you and your patrons benefit from Web 2.0?
Will the benefit outweigh the cost?

Why Web 2.0?
Multi-sensory communication
Video tour of library
Pictures of events
Podcast of library events
RSS Feeds for news, etc.
Instant Messaging reference
Wiki subject guides

Why Web 2.0
User collaboration
User testimonials
User created content
User reviews
User videos of “Why I like my library”
Gives the user opportunity to be apart of the library (dialogue NOT monologue)
Shows that the library can evolve/adapt to change

Why not Web 2.0?
Time consuming for small libraries
Patron base
More problem patron opportunities
Inappropriate comments or posts
Predators and children
Identity theft

Implications for libraries
Libraries need to become a socially rich, user centric, virtual community, which goes beyond the socially rich, user centric, real world community center. No pressure!
Librarians need to be a little more computer/internet savvy or have someone on staff that is…Not sure if I count.
Library 2.0

Library 2.0
According to Jack M. Maness, “A theory for Library 2.0 could be understood to have these four essential elements: “
It is user-centered
It provides a multi-media experience
It is socially rich
It is communally innovative
