Library 2.0 is a new theory on library services, I just read the two articles below and I believe that Library 2.0 is already playing its part in libraries today, many libraries use online social networking sites to promote and keep patrons informed on the library. I think that making more resources avaliable online and making some material downloadable from home would be a positive thing as well, eliminating waiting for a book to be returned by another client. It also has its downfalls which would decrease people coming into the library and possibly finding more information and different resources within the library.
I believe that the concept that I understand Library 2.0 to be isn't that different from what libraries currently provide for its clients. I think that social networking resources are helping to promote the library and what it has to offer and sharing ideas with other libraries and people in the community.
