What is Web 2.0?
It's a term that was coined in the past few years to refer to the next generation of the Internet, which is more social and participatory. That is, rather than just using the Internet to read information, we can also use it to interact with others, create and share our own content, etc.

Probably the best introduction to Web 2.0 is this video by Michael Wesch called "The Machine is Us/ing Us.

Web 2.0 is a social concept, you communicate and interact, users creates content and share with other users. Content can be re-used and combined into new content; mashups. Another characteristic of 2.0 is beta; things are never finished, there will always be a new and better solution!Learn more about Web 2.0 in Wikipedia.

Library 2.0
Library 2.0 is term used to describe a new set of concepts for developing and delivering library services. The name, as you may guess, is an extension of Web 2.0 and shares many of its same philosophies and concepts including harnessing the user in both design and implementation of services, embracing constant change as a development cycle over the traditional notion of upgrades, and reworking library services to meet the users in their space, as opposed to ours (libraries.)
Many have argued that the notion of Library 2.0 is more than just a term used to describe concepts that merely revolve around the use of technology; it also a term that can be used to describe both physical and mindset changes that are occurring within libraries to make our spaces and services more user-centric and inviting. Others within the profession have asserted that libraries have always been 2.0: collaborative, customer friendly and welcoming. But no matter which side of the debate proponents fall, both sides agree that libraries of tomorrow, even five or ten years from now, will look substantially different from libraries today.
