Both of these perspectives focus on the need to "build" our libraries for the future. They look at libraries not just as "buildings with books", but as active parts of the community. Places for people to get information and network with others, but not necessarily just while they're in the library! As our world is changing constantly with the advent of new and more pervasive technology, the libraries of the future will too have to change to be relevant to the communities they serve.
Library 2.0 to me is a learning and growing experience, both for the library and the people who choose to work in them in the future. Information, community building and relevancy are all a part.
