Web 2.0, Library 2.0

Library 2.0 is an extension of Web 2.0. The user is involved in both the design and implementation of services.
The library needs to meet users in their space (online) not ours (library) - I like this thought as there is no denying the overwhelming popularity of the web as a way of connecting to others, finding information, entertainment etc.
The web is a shared network space used for work, research and social activity, it promotes interactivity and participation.
All things the traditional library has sought and seeks to do. There is still a place for the physical library and printed and av materials (recent GRLC survey makes this clear), but Web 2.0 is here now and being used extensively and libraries must adapt.
The article by Michael Stephens "Into a new world of librarianship" says librarians must look at "how services may be enhanced by the Read/Write web". I think this is important , we don't abandon the traditional services libraries offered but we must cater for all users and potential users and many of them are Web 2.0 officianados and over time their numbers will increase.
