Library 2.0 is a !state of mind
• Working to meet changing user needs
• Trusting our users (radical trust)
• Getting rid of the culture of perfect
• Aware of emerging technologies and opportunities
• Looking outside of the library world for applications, opportunities, inspiration

We really need to do these Web 2.0 things all the
other libraries are doing
I think our library really needs a blog to be relevant to our patrons. Don’t
worry, I’ll handle everything.
This will be the best library blog ever!

Why does it fail? • Use of social software is not seen as furthering
the library’s mission
• Social software is treated as someone’s !“pet project.”
• Social software is not planned for strategically like other technologies
• Once the newness wears off, people are less motivated to contribute
• Staff are not given time to work on social software
