What is Library 2.0?
Library 2.0' is a term that provides focus to a number of ongoing conversations around the changing ways that libraries should make themselves and their services visible to end users and to one another.
Library 2.0 is a new notion of using the best technology available, including all of the Web 2.0 tools, to improve library services and to reach out more directly to our communities
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
What is Web 2.0?
a perceived second generation of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, wikis and folksonomies, which aim to facilitate collaboration and sharing between users.

The Web 2.0 Tree
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
Main elements of Lib 2.0
It is user-centered. Users participate in the creation of the content and services they view within the library's web-presence, OPAC, etc. The consumption and creation of content is dynamic, and thus the roles of librarian and user are not always clear.
It provides a multi-media experience . Services contain video and audio components.
It is socially rich . The library's web-presence includes users' presences. There are both synchronous and asynchronous ways for users to communicate with one another and with librarians.
It is communally innovative. It rests on the foundation of libraries as a community service that must allow users to change the library.
It is efficient. It seeks to continually change its services, to find new ways to allow communities, not just individuals to seek, find, and utilize information.
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
New ways of Lib 2.0 thinking
Library 2.0 is about more than the technology.
It is more a kind of attitude.
It challenges our current ways of offering our information services to our users.
It is smart, use users knowledge to deliver new enriched services
It is focused on the user, so, user-centred design is essential
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
A new technological change?
Librarians have always used the latest technological tools.
Fifteen years ago it was Internet.
Twenty-five years ago it was databases distributed on CD-ROM.
Thirty years ago it was 2nd generation information library systems (ILSs).
Thirty-five years ago it was online bibliographic databases,
….and so on.
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
Actually, a new trend
It is a new trend in order to deliver services based on common knowledge, information sharing and user participation.
Libraries 2.0 are those that assume new technological channels and tools to enrich information services with final user’s knowledge.
The power of these tools is that they make possible to provide services to people without forcing them to come to the library.
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
In the LIS scientific and professional context
New concepts: “an attitude not a technology”, “the Long Tail”, “the right to remix”, “rich user experience”, and “trust your users”
New technologies: flickr, del.icio.us, tagging, folksonomy, google maps, AJAX, pagerank, blogs, rss, wikis, P2P, mashups
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
Professional – Academic links
Librarians need to gain technological knowledge on new technologies and best practices of delivering web 2.0 services.
Academics and scientists need to obtain guidelines to integrate web 2.0 technologies into LIS scientific research.
LIS students need to obtain high quality training in the technological field and adapt it to the new professional market

Data processing Manage e-mail service, compression of files, design of input forms, usage of operating systems.
Manage a blog or wiki,
Publication of multimedia content, design of system of knowledge interchange, usage of new web 2.0 applications.
From Lib 1.0 to Lib 2.0
Email reference/Q&A pages ---> Chat reference
Text-based tutorials ---> Streaming media tutorials with interactive databases
Email mailing lists, webmasters ---> Blogs, wikis, RSS feeds
Controlled classification schemes ---> Tagging coupled with controlled schemes
OPAC ---> Personalized social network interface
Catalog of largely reliable print and electronic holdings ---> Catalog of reliable and suspect holdings, web-pages, blogs, wikis, etc.
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
Examples of good practice
Content production: blogs and wikis
Social networks: myspace, facebook, delicious, flickr, etc.
Tagging
Content syndication (rss feed)
Mashup
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
Content creation (1)
Blogs are new forms of library publication
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
Content creation (2)
Wikis are new forms of group study rooms.
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
Social networks
Users can
create accounts with the library network,
see what other users have in common to their information needs,
recommend resources to one another,
and the Library can
recommend resources to users, based on similar profiles, demographics, previously-accessed sources, and a host of data that users provide.
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
Tagging
Users can create subject headings for the object at hand
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
Content syndication
Users can subscribe to contents, including updates on new items in a collection, new services, and new content in subscription databases.
Libraries can create library alerts and republish external information on their sites.
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
Mashups
They are hybrid applications, where two or more technologies or services are conflated into a completely new, novel service.
For example: an OPAC for children where they can add comments
http://test.indexdata.com/yakpac/
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
Library 2.0 as a Mashup
It is a hybrid of blogs, wikis, streaming media, content aggregators, instant messaging, and social networks.
It allows the user to edit OPAC data and metadata,
It saves the user's tags, IM conversations with librarians, wiki entries with other users (and catalogs all of these for others to use),
The user is able to make all or part of their profile public;
The user can see what other users have similar items checked-out, borrow and lend tags,
and a giant user-driven catalog is created and mashed with the traditional catalog.
Librarian@2010, Lisbon 19th September, 2007
Conclusions
All together, the use of these Web 2.0 technologies and applications, along with others not here mentioned and others not yet invented, will constitute a meaningful and substantive change in the history of libraries. The library's collection will change, becoming more interactive and fully accessible. The library's services will change, focusing more on the facilitation of information transfer and information literacy rather than providing controlled access to it
European universities have to train new LIS professionals adapted to new market trends, such as, web 2.0 technologies. Therefore, European references on educational policy need to be updated in order to provide real guidance to academics and professionals.
Public libraries, in general, depend administatively and economically on Councils. Therefore, they are condicioned in terms of technology and innovation to Council managers who are not LIS professional and, probably not aware of Lib 2.0 innovations. So, librarians need to learn how to communicate, explain and promote the advantages of this new trend.
There are some examples of good practices that can be used as inspiration or example to be included in university curricula and to improve our library services. As usually, the best way to offer a high quality training for future LIS professionals consists of fostering adequate cooperation and feedback between theory and practice.
