    Some information professionals in Japan argue that people already have lost interest in Web2.0, but I contend that the Web2.0 environment, developed by recent technology, will continue to evolve and that the number of Web2.0 users will increase. In this article, I focus on information literacy that needs to be discussed and implemented regarding the nature of Web2.0. First, I discuss relationships between the characteristics of Web2.0 and information literacy. Next, I introduce examples of Web2.0 in academic libraries in North America, and discuss the new aspects of information literacy. Finally, I introduce the concept of critical thinking to raise the importance of education regarding information literacy.

This paper summarizes the background, history and current state of SERU.

    Marking the tenth year since the launch of the Academic Resource Guide (ARG), we review the vision, mission, and the roles it played in the past and summarize the movements of the academic web, focusing on the widespread use of personal blogs and organizational efforts including institutional repositories. Based on these past movements, we envision the ideal academic web in the future. In particular, we discuss the need for the academic web that helps establish the interactive relationships between the researchers and non-researchers, between the professionals and amateurs. Lastly, we note the need for new platforms designed to realize such relationships and discuss the future role of ARG.
