This document summarizes the development of Library 2.0 in Italy. It discusses how Italian libraries first began experimenting with Web 2.0 tools like blogs, RSS feeds and social tagging starting in 2006. It also reports the results of a survey of 148 Italian librarians which found that while most recognize the potential of these tools, few libraries actually use them, largely due to lack of resources and technical skills. The document concludes by calling for Italian libraries to more fully embrace participation and community through Web 2.0.
