13. http://lirgroup.heanet.ie Library 2.0 came from ….  Michael Casey in LibraryCrunch He identified the need for libraries to adopt a strategy for constant change while promoting a participatory role for library users.

14. http://lirgroup.heanet.ie Some Key Principles of Library 2.0  Browser + Web 2.0 Applications + Connectivity = Full-featured OPAC e.g. Primo from Ex Libris  Harness the library user in both design and implementation of services  Library users should be able to craft and modify library provided services e.g like Blogger – templates, options, etc.  Constant change is replacing the older model of upgrade cycles -- Beta is forever -- copy the Google and Flickr models  Adopt ideas and products from peripheral fields into library service models

15. http://lirgroup.heanet.ie Library 2.0 and The User  With Library 2.0, library services are frequently evaluated and updated to meet the changing needs of library users.  Library 2.0 also calls for libraries to encourage user participation and feedback in the development and maintaining of library services.  With information and ideas flowing in both directions – from the library to the user and from the user to the library – library services have the ability to evolve and improve on a constant and rapid basis.
