Learning 2.0
I am learning about Web 2.0 tools and capabilities by going through a self-directed program called Learning 2.0. I hope to learn a great deal and to see how some of these capabilities might be used for library instruction, in particular, but also for other purposes.

Methods 1 and 2
Web 2.0 gives us an incredible array of constantly-changing technological tools that allow a much greater degree of interactivity and personalization. These tools can be used in Library 2.0. Libraries can use RSS feeds, wikis, blogs, Google Docs, IM, tagging, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter, social networking software such as Facebook and MySpace, social bookmarking software such as delicious, Open Access, Open Source, Jing, Skype, Second Life, and so on. As Stephen Abram says, these tools enable Librarian 2.0 to be “where the user is, when the user is there.” Ultimately, Web 2.0 services are expected to replace desktop computing applications for many purposes. “The wisdom of the crowds” becomes much more important in Web 2.0 and, by extension, in Library 2.0. Consumers become producers. The success of Wikipedia is a very good example of that.
