1) The document discusses the evolution of the web from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 and how libraries are adopting Web 2.0 technologies and principles to become more user-centered and participatory, an approach called Library 2.0. 2) Key aspects of Library 2.0 include using blogs, wikis, tags and other Web 2.0 tools to involve users, deliver services directly to them, and make library data more accessible and useful. 3) The document advocates that libraries embrace change, take risks, experiment with new technologies, and make play an important part of innovation.

19. The Two Tims “Web 2.0 is the business revolution in computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.” ( Tim O’Reilly , Dec 2006) “[Web 2.0 is] what the Web was supposed to be all along.” ( Tim Berners-Lee , Aug 2006)

20. Web 1.0 – Once Upon a Time…

21. Web 1.0 – mid 1990s Slow access speeds (e.g. dial-up modem) Limited availability Static web pages Little interactivity Mostly text …lots and lots of text …on a grey background! Web sites that would only work with one type of web browser The “Read Only Web”

22. Web 2.0 – mid 2000s Fast access speeds (e.g. broadband) Wide availability (e.g. wireless) Dynamic web pages High interactivity Lots of multimedia Web sites that work on many devices (e.g. PCs, mobile phones, etc) The “Read/Write Web”

23. Super connected Web 1.0 was about connecting computers dial-up -> ISDN -> broadband -> wireless Web 2.0 is about connecting people instant messaging & chatrooms Skype & VoIP social networking sites virtual words (Second Life, Club Penguin, etc) communities of common interest microblogging (Twitter, etc)

24. Key Web 2.0 concepts Applications delivered via a web browser Exploiting and (sometimes freely) sharing data Mashups and other unintended uses User participation, empowerment, and collaboration Social networking Communities of interest Tagging and folksonomies

43. Freeconomics “Never in history has so much innovation been offered to so many for so little [cost]. The world’s most exciting businesses – technology, transport, media, medicine and finance – are increasingly defined by the word ‘free’ … … It is a difficult proposition to beat.” Michael Schrage, “Why giveaways are changing the rules of business” (Financial Times, 2006)

44. Freeconomics His new ambition, [Ryanair's founder Michael O'Leary] told the Financial Times in 2004, was to give customers free tickets, perhaps even to pay them to fly. He predicted: “In a decade or so, airlines will pay travellers to distribute people around Europe.” “The big giveaway” (Guardian, May 2008)

49. 2008 British Library/JISC Report The information environment in 2017: electronic books, driven by consumer demand, will finally become established as the primary format for educational textbooks and scholarly books and monographs, as well as reference formats. the most significant impact for research will not be how things get published, but how they get accessed . http://www.bl.uk/news/pdf/googlegen.pdf

51. Library 2.0 “...a loosely defined model for a modernized form of library service that reflects a transition within the library world in the way that services are delivered to users. This includes ... an increased flow of information from the user back to the library.” Wikipedia article for “ Library 2.0 ”

52. Library 2.0 Use of “2.0” technologies (blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, social networking, etc) Actively involve users in developments User centric initiatives Delivering services directly to users Libraries without walls (“ The Third Place ”) The “Read/Write Library” Liberate your data & make it work harder

56. Library 2.0 Challenges us to: be more flexible embrace change be more willing to take risks give library staff the opportunity to play and experiment with new technologies go to where our users are, rather than force them to come to us give our users opportunities to contribute
