Links to ideas about Library 2.0 and Web 2.0 can be found at http://plcmclearning.blogspot.com/2006/09/15-on-library-20-web-20.html

Rick Anderson, for instance, writes about 3 icebergs: 1) The “just in case” collection, 2) Reliance on user education, including "We need to focus our efforts not on teaching research skills but on eliminating the barriers that exist between patrons and the information they need, so they can spend as little time as possible wrestling with lousy search interfaces and as much time as possible actually reading and learning" and "But if our services can’t be used without training, then it’s the SERVICES THAT NEED TO BE FIXED—not our patrons" and 3) The “come to us” model of library service

Michael Stephens points out that "Librarian 2.0, then, is the “strategy guide” for helping users find information, gather knowledge and create content." His primary points include: 1) "Librarians 2.0 plans for their users" by "User-centered libraries breakdown barriers", 2) "Librarian 2.0 embraces Web 2.0 tools", 3) "Librarian 2.0 controls technolust", 4) "Librarian 2.0 makes good, yet fast decisions", 5) "Librarian 2.0 is a trendspotter", and 6) "Librarian 2.0 gets content"
