The Two Tims
• “Web 2.0 is the business revolution in computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.” (Tim O’Reilly, Dec 2006)
• “[Web 2.0 is] what the Web was supposed to be all along.” (Tim Berners-Lee, Aug 2006)
Web 1.0 – Once Upon a Time…
Web 1.0 – mid 1990s• Slow access speeds (e.g. dial-up
modem)• Limited availability• Static web pages• Little interactivity• Mostly text …lots and lots of text …on
a grey background!• Web sites that would only work with
one type of web browser• The “Read Only Web”
Web 2.0 – mid 2000s
• Fast access speeds (e.g. broadband)• Wide availability (e.g. wireless)• Dynamic web pages• High interactivity• Lots of multimedia• Web sites that work on many devices
(e.g. PCs, mobile phones, etc)• The “Read/Write Web”
Super connected• Web 1.0 was about connecting computers
– dial-up → ISDN → broadband → wireless
• Web 2.0 is about connecting people– instant messaging & chatrooms– Skype & VoIP– social networking sites– virtual words (Second Life, Club Penguin, etc)– communities of common interest– microblogging (Twitter, etc)
Key Web 2.0 concepts• Applications delivered via a web
browser• Exploiting and (sometimes freely)
sharing data• Mashups and other unintended uses• User participation, empowerment, and
collaboration• Social networking• Communities of interest• Tagging and folksonomies

Freeconomics…
…or, is there such a thing as a “free lunch”?
A Tale of Two (Capa)cities
IBM Deskstar HDD• June 2000• £125• 20GB
£6.25 per GB£6,250 per TB
What will the price per GB/TB be in 2016?
Hitachi Deskstar HDD
• July 2008• £95• 1000GB (1TB)
£0.09½ per GB£95 per TB
Freeconomics
• “Never in history has so much innovation been offered to so many for so little [cost]. The world’s most exciting businesses – technology, transport, media, medicine and finance – are increasingly defined by the word ‘free’ …… It is a difficult proposition to beat.”
– Michael Schrage, “Why giveaways are changing the rules
of business” (Financial Times, 2006)
Freeconomics
• His new ambition, [Ryanair's founder Michael O'Leary] told the Financial Times in 2004, was to give customers free tickets, perhaps even to pay them to fly. He predicted: “In a decade or so, airlines will pay travellers to distribute people around Europe.”
“The big giveaway” (Guardian, May 2008)
The BIG questions
“What happens when things get free?”
– Professor Carver Mead, Professor Emeritus at the California Institute of
Technology
The BIG questions
What happens to the music industry when I can fit every song ever recorded onto my MP3 player?
The BIG questions
What happens when free wireless internet access is available everywhere?
The BIG questions
What happens to my local library when I can access every book ever written on my e-book reader?
2008 British Library/JISC Report
• The information environment in 2017:– electronic books, driven by consumer
demand, will finally become established as the primary format for educational textbooks and scholarly books and monographs, as well as reference formats.
– the most significant impact for research will not be how things get published, but how they get accessed.
http://www.bl.uk/news/pdf/googlegen.pdf
Library 2.0
• “...a loosely defined model for a modernized form of library service that reflects a transition within the library world in the way that services are delivered to users.
This includes ... an increased flow of information from the user back to the library.”
Wikipedia article for “Library 2.0”
Library 2.0
• Use of “2.0” technologies (blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, social networking, etc)
• Actively involve users in developments• User centric initiatives• Delivering services directly to users• Libraries without walls (“The Third Place
”)• The “Read/Write Library”• Liberate your data & make it work harder
“Library 2.0 is a state of mind”

Time for a joke…
• How many Librarians does it take to change a light bulb?
• Change!?!
“Creating the new library universe”
• National & State Libraries Australasia draft paper– access is our primary driver– digital is mainstream– no job will be unchanged– new web technologies and community digital content
are shaping user expectations and behaviour– some things we have always done, we will no longer
do– experimentation and risk are necessary– people want services and spaces to be welcoming
and easy to use, and they want to be independentThe Big Bang: Creating the new library universe
Library 2.0
• Challenges us to:– be more flexible– embrace change– be more willing to take risks– give library staff the opportunity to play
and experiment with new technologies– go to where our users are, rather than
force them to come to us– give our users opportunities to
contribute
Librarian 2.0?
Librarian 2.0!
How do you become a “Librarian 2.0”?

Play and experimentation
It’s okay to play!
• “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”– attrib: George Bernard Shaw
• 2007 Library & Information Show Workshop on Library 2.0 – Q: I don’t get paid to play, I get paid to
work– A: So, don’t call it “play”, call it
“professional development”
Admit it, haven’t you wanted
to do this in your library…
