Stephen Abram has brought togther a lot of the pieces in his article “Web 2.0 - Huh?! Library 2.0, Librarian 2,0.” You can find a PDF version online in his listing of Articles and Presentations. It is also in the December 2005 issues of Information Outlook.

From the end of the article:

It is essential that we start preparing to become Librarian 2.0 now. The Web 2.0 movement is laying the groundwork for exponential business growth and another major shift in the way our users live, work and play. We have the ability, insight and knowledge to influence the creation of this new dynamic–and guarantee the future of our profession.

The article lists all that Librarian 2.0 does and strives to do. He says, “Librarian 2.0 is where the user is, when the user is there.” Thank you, Stephen.
