Our society is increasingly interconnected through multiple types of networks, and humankind is changing their habits accordingly, adapting to the use of new technologies. We explore the psycho-social characteristics that determine people´s behavior through the communication channels. We discuss some structures of networking in the field of Library and Information Science: mailing lists, directories, etc. We conclude that the work of the information professional fits perfectly in the current wave 2.0 of information sharing.
