Library 2.0 de facto definition – Sarah Houghton, Digital Futures Manager at San Jose PL (2005)

•Library 2.0 simply means making your library’s space (virtual and physical) more interactive, collaborative, and driven by community needs

•The basic drive is to get people back into the library by making the library relevant to what they want and need in their daily lives
