This article provides an overview of web 2.0 and library 2.0. An analysis is offered of websites widely acknowledged as being successful. These websites were those that led to the new concept web 2.0. Essential characteristics of this type of site are reviewed, such as employing important technologic innovations and novel ways of interacting with users. The second part of the paper analyses the significance of library 2.0 as a web 2.0 application for libraries. After a brief review of the principal definitions, a new one is proposed. Examples are given of the 2.0 services that libraries are currently offering or could offer in the future.
