Abstract:
The article discusses "Library 2.0". The definition, theory and the implications of integrating Web 2.0 technologies in the practice of librarianship. Library 2.0 theory poses four essential elements: it is user-centered; a multi-media experience; socially rich; and communally innovative. It recognizes implications that will change the course of history and mission of libraries especially in access and control of information. The article introduces Web 2.0 technologies such as synchronous messaging and streaming media, blogs, wikis, social networks, tagging, RSS feeds and mashups.

Three Things I have learned:
1. With Web2.0, you reach more users and a stimulus for information sharing.
2. With Web 2.0 exchange of information is more innovative, more interactive and much faster.
3. Libraries can now extend services virtually thus expands user community. Utilization of information is maximized and most importantly Web 2.0 fosters new opportunities for learning.

Implications:
Web 2.0 opened new doors for libraries. These technologies greatly influenced library activities without us knowing it. It penetrated library realms and what we must do is embraced it willingly for it brings promising and substantial developments in improving our services and in reaching out library users. In the end we will able to say thanks for these innovative technologies for improving our lives.
Now that i know full well the concepts of Web 2.0 technologies, i am eager to explore what it can do to my library and how it can benefit me in expanding my library's horizon.
