Web 2.0 has made possible - and intensified - global collaborative mechanisms for the production of content. For nearly fifteen years, it has been gradually transforming the traditional Web, based on a dissemination model mainly structured by service providers and content providers.This participatory and collaborative capacity of the Web 2.0 may, in some cases, erase old boundaries and hierarchies between professionals and amateurs in various areas, whether in the private or public domains (e.g., Journalism 2.0, citizen journalism, etc.). Professions related to the creation and dissemination of content and knowledge seem to be particularly affected (e.g., publishers, artists, graphic designers, journalists, librarians, competitive intelligence specialists, librarians, archivists, information managers, etc.). The participatory Web's massive implementation of technology by the public has led to a reconfiguration and repositioning of the stakeholders in these sectors. This special issue aims to investigate mutations or changes underway within the institutions and among the stakeholders of libraries, archives, museums and online media due to the spread of Web 2.0 digital practices.
