This article posits a definition and theory for "Library 2.0". It suggests that recent thinking describing the changing Web as "Web 2.0" will have substantial implications for libraries, and recognizes that while these implications keep very close to the history and mission of libraries, they still necessitate a new paradigm for librarianship. The paper applies the theory and definition to the practice of librarianship, specifically addressing how Web 2.0 technologies such as synchronous messaging and streaming media, blogs, wikis, social networks, tagging, RSS feeds, and mashups might intimate changes in how libraries provide access to their collections and user support for that access.

The life of the mind in the age of Web 2.0 suffers, in many ways, from an increase in credulity and an associated flight from expertise.

This article is an attempt to clarify just what we mean by Web 2.0.

This presentation will focus on one librarian’s practical use of blogs in an effort to convey her philosophy that regardless of the technical aspects of the changing information landscape (Library 2.0?), the song, generally, remains the same when it comes to the messages subject librarians need to convey.
