• In the social web of the future? • In immersive environments• In the semantic web? • Creating new open publishing venues
“[Library 2.0] is a philosophy of rapid change, flexible organizational structures, new web 2.0 tools and user participation that will put the library in a much stronger position, ready to efficiently and effectively meet the needs of a larger user population.”
• Michael Casey Library Crunch blog
Library 2.0 – definition(s)
Canadian Darlene Fichter, University of Saskatchewan, academic librarian, blogger
(books 'n stuff + people + radical trust) x participation) = Library 2.0
http://library2.usask.ca/~fichter/blog_on_the_side/2006/04/web-2.html
“…the principles of Library 2.0 seek to put users in touch with information & entertainment wherever they may be, breaking down barriers of space, time & outdated policy. … a user-centered paradigm focusing on knowledge, experience, collaboration & creation of content & encouraging the heart.”
• Michael Stephens – Tame the Web blog
Web 2.0…Library 2.0….

Interrogating social software
• What makes a social tool useful: • ‘Being social’?• What is social about social software? • Current awareness? building networks? Online learning? • How is community defined by social media? • What do we gain/or lose when we use social software?• Do we run the risk of over-technization?
