Library 2.0 2983517 220592582 2008-06-20T16:37:16Z SpBot 7016748 robot Removing: [[es:Biblioteca 2.0]] {{Cleanup|date=June 2008}} {{Nofootnotes|date=February 2008}} '''Library 2.0''' is 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. The concept of Library 2.0 borrows from that of [[Business 2.0]] and [[Web 2.0]] and follows some of the same underlying philosophies. This includes online services such as the use of [[OPAC]] systems and an increased flow of information from the user back to the library. With Library 2.0, library services are constantly updated and reevaluated to best serve library users. Library 2.0 also attempts to harness the library user in the design and implementation of library services by encouraging feedback and participation. Proponents of this concept expect that ultimately the Library 2.0 model for service will replace traditional, one-directional service offerings that have characterized libraries for centuries. == Overview == The term "Library 2.0" was coined by Michael Casey on his blog [http://www.librarycrunch.com LibraryCrunch] as a direct spin-off of the terms Business 2.0 and Web 2.0. Casey suggested that libraries, especially [[public libraries]], are at a crossroads where many of the elements of Web 2.0 have applicable value within the library community, both in technology-driven services and in non-technology based services. In particular, he described the need for libraries to adopt a strategy for constant change while promoting a participatory role for library users. Library 2.0 made its conference debut at Internet Librarian 2005 in October, 2005, when Michael Stephens of Saint Joseph County Public Library addressed the idea in relation to the typical library website. With Library 2.0, library services are frequently evaluated and updated to meet the changing needs of library users. Library 2.0 also calls for libraries to encourage user participation and feedback in the development and maintaining of library services. The active and empowered library user is a significant component of Library 2.0. With information and ideas flowing in both directions – from the library to the user and from the user to the library – library services have the ability to evolve and improve on a constant and rapid basis. The user is participant, co-creator, builder and consultant – whether the product is virtual or physical. == Key principles == * [[Web browser|Browser]] + Web 2.0 Applications + Connectivity = Full-featured [[OPAC]] * Harness the library user in both design and implementation of services * Library users should be able to craft and modify library provided services * Harvest and integrate ideas and products from peripheral fields into library service models * Continue to examine and improve services and be willing to replace them at any time with newer and better services. == The debate surrounding Library 2.0 == Library 2.0 has been a source of debate in the [[blogosphere]]. Some librarian bloggers have argued that these key principles are not new and have been part of the service philosophies of many library reformers since the 19th century. Others are calling for more concrete examples of how libraries can get to Library 2.0. Walt Crawford, for example, argues that Library 2.0 comprises a combination of tools and attitudes which are excellent ideas and not new to librarianship, a few business- and tool-focused attitudes which will not serve all users and user communities, and incorrectly places libraries as the appropriate source for all users to gather all information{{ref|crawford}}. Proponents of Library 2.0, such as Stephen Abram{{ref|abram}}, Michael Stephens{{ref|stephens}}, Paul Miller{{ref|miller}} and others, have spoken to these criticisms, arguing that while individual pieces of Library 2.0 may not be entirely new, the convergence of these service goals and ideas with many new Web 2.0 technologies has led to a new generation of library service. == References == <!-- Please order by alphabetical order of author. --> * {{note|abram}} Abram, S., Casey, M., Blyberg, J., & Stephens, M.
