The concept of "Web 2.0" was brought about by O'Reilly and MediaLive International. Dale Dougherty, web pioneer and O'Reilly VP, noted that far from having "crashed", the web was more important than ever, with exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising regularity. Even though there have been some disappointments in regard to this concept of web 2.0, it has witnessed a great boom since its creation with more and more people using it.
'Web 2.0' refers to the evolution of the internet from a static place, where information is simply made available, to a collaborative space where information is created, published and distributed online( Kate Watson and Chelsea Harper) http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html
Library 2.0
Darlene Fichter from the University of Saskatchewan Canada 2006 defines Library 2.0 as (books 'n stuff + people + radical trust) x participation. What Flitcher is saying is that for information to be fluent then people should be given a chance to communicate and interact with the libraries, they should be trusted to do well.
