Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 are terms used to describe the social networking and interactive web technology that is evolving throughout the world. It is important that libraries remain open to current and advancing technologies to be relevant. Libraries today are very different from 10 years ago and will continue to change as technology advances. The Machine is Us,by Michael Wesch, very cleverly, explains the history of computing and the importance of innovation and creativity. Library 2.0 the consumer as producer, by Beth Evans asks interesting questions about future libraries. She suggests more input from library visitors by inviting the broader public to contribute to an institutional repository. She believes that the larger community will offer personal artifacts, history and an unforeseen collection of scholarship, knowledge and thought as well.
