Crawford, Walt. "Library 2.0 and 'Library 2.0.'" Cites and Insights. Vol 6, no 2. Midwinter 2006.

A critique of the L2 movement. Crawford compares Library 2.0 which he defines as using software tools to enhance and create services with "Library 2.0" which he dismisses as hype. He criticizes several bloggers' approaches to L2 as too confrontational and too immersed in theory rather than pointing to actual successful implementations of L2. He also introduces the possibility of alienating small populations of clients because the services they need don't serve a large enough user base.
