A meme that's been sweeping the library blogosphere over the past several months has been "Library 2.0," coined by analogy with "Web 2.0."
Walt Crawford has a good survey of the various definitions offered for Library 2.0, from focus on technologies (blogs, IM, social software, wikis) to a model for service (user outreach, user participation, constant innovation being my favorite, but there are other models).
How do you see Library 2.0 applying to your corporate libraries? Are there modifications required when either librarians or patrons are geographically wide-spread, possibly never meeting face-to-face? How do you make the case for experimenting with blogs, social software and wikis? Do you set knowledge management priorities yourselves for yourselves, or partner with the larger organization?
