Main Articles: 'Public Library 2.0: Culture Change?', Ariadne Issue 64. Printer-friendly version Send to friend Sarah Hammond explores UK public libraries' growing participation in social media to reach their audiences online, with a focus on blogging. Beginning in the mid 2000s I began keeping an eye on how libraries have been getting involved with social software - I started this haphazardly just out of interest but then I started to be more systematic when I needed to explore online resources for my organisation, the National Railway Museum.

When I left to pursue my MA in Librarianship at the University of Sheffield I took the opportunity to do some serious research into the subject with a focus on UK public libraries as it seemed to me that they were hugely under-represented online. Although that research met its purpose in gaining me my degree in 2009 I was not content to leave it there; I had had such an overwhelming response to my online survey I knew that this was a topic that excited interest, both positive and negative.

Phil Bradley's weblog: Web 2.0 and Library 2.0. Meredith Farkas has written a thought provoking post: The essence of Library 2.0? | Information Wants To Be Free which I wanted to comment on.

Probably best if you have a quick read of what she said first, then come back here. I'll make some tea. Right. Maybe there's a UK/US divide here - to be honest I'd be surprised if there wasn't, but the emphasis here has always seemed to me to be on Web 2.0, rather than Library 2.0. My book is called 'How to use Web 2.0 in your library' rather than a focus on a specific type of Web 2 application, or 'How to turn your library into Library 2.0' or suchlike. Something that I say very early on when I'm taking a class in this subject area is 'Forget the labels. I agree and disagree with things Meredith says in about equal measure. I also agree with Meredith when she says that some librarians have lost their way when they implement things like blogs, Flickr accounts and so on. A lot of the 2.0 stuff isn't revolutionary in and of itself.

Bibliothek 2.0. Der Begriff der Bibliothek 2.0 (engl. Library 2.0) ist bislang nicht eindeutig definiert und umfasst zum Teil kontrovers diskutierte Konzepte und Vorstellungen über die zukünftige Gestaltung von Bibliotheken. Konsens herrscht weitgehend, dass die Bibliothek 2.0 grundsätzlich auf den Benutzer und seine Vorstellungen, Wünsche, Erwartungen ausgerichtet ist. Allgemein[Bearbeiten] Einigkeit besteht ebenfalls überwiegend dahingehend, dass die Bibliothek 2.0 auf bestimmte, dem so genannten Web 2.0 zugeschriebene Grundprinzipien wie Partizipation, Kollaboration, Interaktion bzw. einfach Zwei-Wege-Kommunikation zurückgreift. Diese wurden durch die weite Verbreitung rückkopplungsfähiger und auf Vernetzung ausgerichteter Kommunikationstechnologien, besonders durch die so genannte Soziale Software, zu einem allgemeinen Kommunikationsphänomen im Internet.

Maness MLS, University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries, 1720 Pleasant St., Boulder, CO, USA. Email: jack dot maness at colorado dot edu Received June 19, 2006; Accepted June 29, 2006 Abstract This article posits a definition and theory for "Library 2.0".

Keywords Web 2.0, Library 2.0, Blog, Wiki, Streaming media, Social network, Tagging, RSS, Mashup Introduction While the term is widely defined and interpreted, "Web 2.0" was reportedly first conceptualized and made popular by Tim O'Reilly and Dale Dougherty of O'Reilly Media in 2004 to describe the trends and business models that survived the technology sector market crash of the 1990s (O'Reilly, 2005). The implications of this revolution in the Web are enormous. Most writers on Library 2.0 would agree that much of what libraries adopted in the first Web revolution are static. Library 2.0 According to Miller (2005a), "Library 2.0" is a term coined by Michael Casey on his LibrayCrunch blog. It is user-centered. Synchronous Messaging.

I’ve had my head buried in an Exchange server migration this past week, so when I surfaced Friday and caught up on the glut of unread posts in my aggregator, I was intrigued by the volume of Library 2.0 chatter. I was also struck by what appears to be a well-mannered backlash against Library 2.0–the label and the the concept. If you’ve been reading my blog, you’ll know I believe L2 is a vital and very real movement.

You’ll also know that I think it is an ever-changing amalgam of ideas, dreams, and visions. It’s also very much only an abstraction to some at this point. I want to share why I believe the L2 movement exists, why it is very unique and why it’s not something that’s already been done. “Library 2.0 simply means making your library’s space (virtual and physical) more interactive, collaborative, and driven by community needs. L2 is partially a response to a Post-Google world L2 requires internal reorganization L2 requires a fundamental change in a library’s mission.
