Meredith has managed to pinpoint exactly what it is about both Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 that annoy me so thoroughly. It’s the persistent labeling of good concepts (collaboration, increasing client service through technology) with terms that accomplish little. What does Web 2.0 mean? Who knows, but doesn’t it sound so cool?

The spirit of Library 2.0 (or L2, as it is even more ambiguously been named) is a good one. But the important part of it is not the shiny technologies but the intention behind their implementation. And I think those intentions are classic ones - perhaps those provided by Ranganathan.

I know this: I would get a combination of blank stares and titters at MPOW if I started waxing rhapsodic about Library 2.0. I’d be less likely to if I were to explain how social bookmarking can not only enable collaboration but also save the time of the reader researcher. In truth, I firmly believe that in some cases, labels only manage to muddle things further, and I’m afraid Library 2.0 is one of those cases.
