This post relates to Library 2.0 - It's many things to many people. What does it mean to me? Library 2.0 means that libraries will remain relevant and responsive to the needs of the community.
Technology will help libraries recognize their potential. Riemer mentions in "To better bibliographic services" that the managment of metadata plays an important role in relevance ranking.
In reading "Into a new world of librarianship" by Stephens I think about the people who use MySpace. These library patrons are copy and pasting HTML code to create their websites. I think library workers should have some idea of how HTML code works to keep up.
In short, Library 2.0 means keeping current with existing technology to help library customers.
