  9. Some Principles of Library 2.0 • The library is everywhere. • The library has no barriers. • The library invites participation. • The library uses flexible, best-of-breed systems. • The library encourages the heart. • The library is human. • The library recognizes that its users are human too. • Harness the library user in both design and implementation of services • Library users should be able to craft and modify library provided services http://tametheweb.com/2005/12/the_collected_principles_of_li.html

  10. In the past… • Provided services without asking users what they want • Made changes without consulting users • Handed over services (such as the OPAC) to for-profit businesses • Made users jump through the hoops we created for them
