Good afternoon, I am a librarian with the Houston Public Library. I am pasting below two definitions of Web 2.0 taken from the American Library Association’s Web site. I believe you will find them useful.

“Wikipedia defines Web 2.0 as “Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of Web sites to a full-fledged computing platform serving Web applications, like Gmail, to end users. The proponents of this thinking expect that ultimately Web 2.0 services will replace desktop computing applications for many purposes.”

The definition I might give goes something like this: Web 2.0 is the next incarnation of the WWW, where digital tools allow users to create, change, and publish dynamic content of all kinds. Other Web 2.0 tools syndicate and aggregate this content. We will all be publishers and creators of our own information and entertainment channels with these applications.”

And, remember, you can always contact your local library with questions!
