Library 2.0 Five Years Later

摘要

In 2006, the phrase "Library 2.0" surfaced. At the time, I wrote a single-essay issue of Cites & Insights (6:2, Midwinter 2006; http://citesandinsights.info/civ 6i2.pdf) titled "Library 2.0 and 'Library 2.0'" that has been read some 50,000 times. Here are two sentences from the first paragraph: "I was reading stuff about something called 'Library 2.0'-but the posts and items didn't seem to cohere. I thought I could gather some statements, print them out, read them through, provide excerpts and commentary and maybe make sense of the whole thing."
