Web 2.0
In August 2006, Don Macnaughtan and I attended an OCLC workshop called, "Keep Up! Practical emerging technologies for you and your library" presented by Michael Porter. Michael Porter clearly explained the concepts of Library 2.0 and demonstrated real life examples.

More 2.0
"The disruptive impact of Web 2.0 is just beginning. O'Reilly gave Web 2.0 its name when we launched the Web 2.0 Summit, (now joined by Web 2.0 Expo) and we believe it's much more than just the latest technology buzzword. Web 2.0 is a transformative force that's propelling companies across all industries towards a new way of doing business characterized by harnessing collective intelligence, openness, and network effects." O'Reilly.com
OCLC Symposium: Who's watching YOUR space?
"We use to learn how to keep current. Now we need to learn how to experience these technologies and put them into practice."
