This document discusses the concept of Library 2.0 and how libraries can implement more collaborative and participatory technologies and services. It defines Library 2.0 as working to meet changing user needs, trusting users, embracing emerging technologies, and looking outside the library field for innovations. The document addresses concerns that smaller libraries may not have the resources to adopt these technologies, but argues that many low-cost and free 2.0 options exist that can help libraries communicate, collaborate, and connect with patrons regardless of their size or technical expertise. Key recommendations include avoiding "technolust", knowing your users, developing a learning culture, and assessing technologies and services.
