Methods 1 and 2: Library 2.0 and Web 2.0

Next, think about what you have read and seen. What are your thoughts regarding Web 2.0 and Library 2.0? What do the terms mean to you? To your library? Or libraries in general?

After reading and listening to some of the online material and YouTube videos, Web 2.0 is everything internet. YouTube, Google, Yahoo, Meebo, are small or big parts which help make the internet experience better each time . Web 2.0 is the connection and the use of these parts together to make the experience much more exciting and useful every time the net is used.

Library 2.0 for me means the the way in which the parts aforementioned, in addition to other library material, can be used for libraries. Blogger can be used to set up a blog for a local library to market programs to a community. Instant messaging can be used and is currently being used in a university library which I know of to answer questions some students may have.
