Library 2.0 - user-centered, encouraging particpation, and focusing on bringing the library to the customers through diverse tools and services. Flickr, rss feeds, and instant messaging are some of the many examples of library 2.0 services that libraries are incorporating to better reach and serve their customers. I think that each of them can add value and can make for a more broad spectrum of services.
I liked what the article 'Away from the Icebergs' had to say, in that there should be a middle ground between abandoning core values for new trends and being unwilling to recognize or adapt when changes do occur. I think that Library 2.0 services can benefit a library so long as they aren't the entire focus, but something that complements the traditional model of library services.
