The Long Tail of QUESTIONS
libraries
Expectations 1.0
The principles and foundations of librarianship have not changed. . . We have always done this.
The tools we use are entering a new era. And where we get the tools, how we use them, and how flexible and timely we can be is changing.
Will attitudes about and aptitudes for libraries change if we don’t re-frame the conversation? Maybe .
WEB 2.0
“Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving
web applications to end users. Ultimately Web 2.0 services are expected to replace desktop computing
applications for many purposes.”Wikipedia
“Library 2.0 is an operating model that allows libraries to respond rapidly to market needs. This does not mean that we abandon our current users
or our mission.
It is a philosophy of rapid change, flexible organization 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, LibraryCrunch.com blogGwinnett County PL
Library 2.0 is very much influenced by technology-driven, two-way, social interactions between staff and staff, and staff and patrons. It has provided a
framework within which we’ve been able to re-evaluate every aspect of classical librarianship with
the end goal of usability and findability in mind.
John Blyberg, Blyberg.net, AADL
Library 2.0 has four essential elements
It is user-centered - users participate in the creation of the content and services they view within the library's web-presence, OPAC, etc.
It provides a multi-media experience - Both the collections and services of Library 2.0 contain video and audio components.
It is socially rich – There are both synchronous (e.g. IM) and asynchronous (e.g. wikis) ways for users to communicate with one another and with librarians.
It is communally innovative – Public libraries are a community service, and as communities change, libraries must not only change with them, they must allow users to change the library.
To beLibrary 2.0 ,
your library must first understand
the elements of Web 2.0
