- "Library 2.0 is about library users -- keeping those we have while actively seeking those who do not currently use our services. It's about embracing those ideas and technologies that can assist libraries in delivering services to these groups, and it's about participation -- involving users in service creation and evaluation. Library 2.0 is an operating model that allows libraries to respond rapidly to market needs. This does not mean that we abandon our current users or our mission. It is a philosophy of rapid change, flexible organizational structures, new Web 2.0 tools and user participation that will put the library in a much stronger position, ready to efficiently and effectively meet the needs of a larger user population." ~ Michael Casey LibraryCrunch
- "The principles of Library 2.0 seek to put users in touch with information and entertainment wherever they may be, breaking down the barriers of space, time and outdated policy. It is a user-centered paradigm focusing on knowledge, experience, collaboration, the creation of new content and encouraging the heart." ~ Michael Stephens, Tame the Web
- "Library 2.0 is very much influenced by technology-driven, two-way, social interactions between staff and staff or staff and patrons. L2 has provided a framework within which we've been able to re-evaluate virtually every aspect of classical librarianship with the end goal of usability and findability in mind." ~ John Blyberg Blyberg.net
- "Library 2.0 = (books 'n stuff + people + radical trust) x participation" ~ Darlene Fichter
- "Library 2.0 is the natural evolution of library services to a level where the library user is in control of how and when she gets access to the services she needs and wants." ~ Thomas Brevik, Library 1.5
