Slide 12: Library 2.0 - Definitions • Library 2.0 is the natural evolution of library services to a level where the library user is in control of how and when she gets access to the services she needs and wants. Thomas Brevik http://lib1point5.wordpress.com/

Slide 13: • The principles of Library 2.0 seek to put users in touch with information and entertainment wherever they may be, breaking down the barriers of space, time and outdated policy. It is a user-centered paradigm focusing on knowledge, experience, collaboration, the creation of new content and encouraging the heart. Michael Stephens http://www.tametheweb.com/

Slide 14: • It is a philosophy of rapid change, flexible organizational structures, new Web 2.0 tools and user participation that will put the library in a much stronger position, ready to efficiently and effectively meet the needs of a larger user population. Michael Casey http://www.librarycrunch.com/
