Life, the Universe, and Everything (2.0)

The Wikipedia article on Web 2.0 is a pretty thorough one, I think. What I take from all of the discussions and definitions of this kind of new era of the internet is that the focus is really shifting away from users passively seeking content to users actively creating content that is meaningful to them. Library 2.0 has the same basic theme; I loved the short and sweet definition given on the Librarian in Black blog. It will serve us well to remember that, behind all of the seemingly complicated and unknowable technological hubbub, lies the goal of simply involving our users in the types of services we provide at the level of their everyday lives.
