Some Principles of Library 2.0
• The library is everywhere.• The library has no barriers.• The library invites participation.• The library uses flexible, best-of-breed systems.• The library encourages the heart.• The library is human.• The library recognizes that its users are human too.• Browser + Web 2.0 Applications + Connectivity = Full-
featured OPAC• Harness the library user in both design and
implementation of services• Library users should be able to craft and modify library
provided services

• Haven’t librarians always been user-centric?

In the past…
• Provided services without asking users what they want
• Made changes without consulting users
• Handed over services (such as the OPAC) to for-profit businesses
• Made users jump through the hoops we created for them

•WANT– Social space– Help at the point of need– Collaboration– A voice in how things are
done– It NOW– It fixed YESTERDAY– Options
•NEED– High quality information– Assistance finding/using
that information– Lifelong learning skills– Information evaluation
skills– Technology skills– A quiet place to study
We must provide BOTH
