WEB 2.0
“Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from
a collection of websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to
end users. Ultimately Web 2.0 services are expected to replace desktop computing
applications for many purposes.”
Darlene Fichter, 2006

The Long Tail of QUESTIONS

Barriers
• Too many policies• Irrelevant organizational chart• Remote users are not served• The Catalog isn't like Amazon or Google (which our
users use!) • Too many sacred cows in reference departments• Librarians do not market themselves or their services
well• Many libraries don't have enough computers to meet
user demand• Library staff need more training (and need to learn
how to learn)• Libraries need more innovative programming
