In order to take advantage of the concepts inherent in Library 2.0 is the imperative to not shy away from adding advanced functionality and features directly into the content. This would provide the context and workflow-oriented features that users will demand or are demanding already. You can see this in the large, popular, user-created-content sites like myspace , flickr , or youtube - those sites depend on participation (i.e., content creators freely give away their creations) for their very survival.

We need to break down the walls between our systems, and the barriers between the groups working to develop and extend each individual system. The content of all comments is released into the public domain unless clearly stated otherwise. The Library of Congress does not control the content posted.
