ABSTRACT :Web 2.0 is a way of putting us online. Web 2.0 is the progression to a more social, collaborative, interactive and inclusive web. Changes in the philosophy of web companies and web developers; Web 2.0 is a paradigm shift in society. This paper defines web 2.0, Library 2.0, and Librarian 2.0 as the application of interactive, interactive, and multimedia web-based technologies for library services and web-based collections, and recommends the adoption of these definitions by libraries. The paper describes the skills and attributes of Librarian 2.0. Librarians discuss how 2.0 is all about changing attitudes and ways of thinking. The challenge facing the profession today is trying to articulate the nature and scope of this new professional perspective. Librarian 2.0 “requires a different mindset or attitude.” This “challenging our mental model” is what librarians growing up in the world of Web 2.0 need to know and understand a little about emerging technology. they are available and know what they can do and how to do what is needed, but they are not necessarily IT experts like them. This article recommends Blogging that is suitable for library use for education or information transfer. Blogging is very useful for librarians in providing the latest and useful information and knowledge for library users.
