[...] 過年後，Library 2.0 的話題再度熱絡起來，歐美圖資界的 blogger 們又有大量的文章，連中國大陸的《大学图书馆学报》也有一篇介紹 Library 2.0 的專文。然而在這裏我卻想談談 “Library 2.0”這個名詞… 正當大家試圖在定義什麼是 Library 2.0 的同時，也有一些人不是很同意“Library 2.0”這個標籤的使用，如 Information Wants To Be Free 的 Label 2.0 這篇文章，他甚至認為 Web 2.0 及 Library 2.0是不存在的。這點我不是很認同，但是下面來自 T. Scott 的看法確是值得我們深思的。 [...]

[...] What Tools? What Ideas? To fully answer this question, you will need to embark on a long journey through a couple months worth of collective writing. I would actually encourage you to start with a Walt Crawford’s cautionary Perspective: Library 2.0 and “Library 2.0.” At 32 pages, it is a hefty read – but well worth it. There have been some additional ideas shared in the last week that I will also be referring to in trying to answer this question for myself. John Blyberg provides “11 reasons why Library 2.0 exists and matters” and Meredith Farkas took a look at “Label 2.0.” [...]

Meredith, my only disappointment with your post is the end of the second paragraph. I really thought it should have read like this:

“What is Library 2.0? Is it all about technology? It is new? Is it just old? If Library 2.0 were an animal, what would it be? Would it make a sound if it fell in the forest and there was no one there to hear it? What is the sound of one Librarian 2.0 clapping?”

Otherwise, nice job. Let’s keep moving forward on the nuts and bolts part….

[...] If you’ve been reading my blog, you’ll know I believe L2 is a vital and very real movement. You’ll also know that I think that it is an ever-changing amalgam of ideas, dreams, and visions. It’s also very much only an abstraction to some at this point. Stephen Cohen supposes that Library 2.0 doesn’t exist, Meredith Wolfwater agrees, Jessamyn suggests that it’s not that big a deal. Laura Crossett seems skeptical and asks if it’s just a club for rich libraries. [...]

Excellent article Walt, and about what I was trying to say when I asked Meredith to ask the question “_who_ is library 2.0?”

The “bipolar” example is also interesting because the disease went through a number of names before it got to “bipolar.” Add the phrase “Information Technology” to this game as well (isn’t a book an information technology as well?)

As people begin to weigh into the blog/wiki/folksonomy world, there will be fights over what to call it. That’s because when you control the language of a discussion, you control the discussion itself.

Meredith,

I’m so happy your post was at 9 p.m. Friday–because I stopped collecting stuff for my essay on Library 2.0 and “Library 2.0″ (a distinction that may correctly cause you to believe I share some of your feelings here) at 5 p.m.

Not that your discussion wouldn’t have added to the whole–it would–but I already had 26,000 words and I think I would have had to add at least a thousand more between your post and the comments! As it stands, yours is a good continuation of the discussion.

The issue is out, all 32 pages of it. You already play a significant role in it, particularly because I was so taken by your “what if a miracle happened” discussion.

I guess the question is, is it the label or the community that helps and could a supportive community exist without the label? Maybe not. I don’t know. I just had so many clients who were misdiagnosed by a psychiatrist who spent 15 minutes talking to them and diagnosed clients for whom the recommended treatments didn’t work. I’m not saying mental illness doesn’t exist, but that the labels don’t fit for everyone. If medication or therapy or a supportive community helps someone to function in their daily life, that’s great.

I just don’t like labels. Obviously they need to exist in many situations, but I don’t know that they need to in this library 2.0 situation.
