A theme gives focus to what we talk about. So far, this is what we've come up with:

Instead of focusing on Web 2.0 tools, we want to focus on how new Web2.0 tools give us new ways to serve our customers. We want to look at how the new attitudes which come with new web tools change our traditional services. This is very loosely called Library 2.0.

New definitions of content,new definitions of library collections and new ways that we can get out of our building to serve our customers where they are, are all considerations.

A useful starting point for thinking about this is a couple of posts by Ryan Deschamps of The Other Librarian Blog:

• My Top Ten Library2.0 No Brainers for Public Libraries, which describes some very easy services that can be implemented in public libraries using free, low time cost web tools
• Top Ten Zero Tech Library2.0 No Brainers for Public Libraries, which describes how we can change our services to meet the new attitudes being brought about by Web2.0.
