3rd Attempt at a Definition!
“The basic drive is to get people back into the library by making the library relevant to what they want and need in their daily lives ... to make the library a destination and not an afterthought.” Sarah Houghton (Information and Web Services Manager,
San Mateo County Library)
![Page 23: intro to library 2.0](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062614/546d19daaf7959ea108b4708/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

…and one more, just to be safe… “Library 2.0 is a concept of a very different
library service, geared towards the needs and expectations of today’s library users. In this vision, the library makes information available wherever and whenever the user requires it, and seeks to ensure that barriers to use and reuse are removed.” Paul Miller (Technology Evangelist, Talis)

Summary
EvolutionaryMany of the ideas behind Library 2.0 are progressional rather than pioneering…
Revolutionary…but some of them do require us to radically rethink and reassess the ways in which we deliver our services, with a particular emphasis on making them more relevant to the needs and expectations of our users.
