Abstract

Internet’s rapid growth and broad penetration, along with affordable enabling Web 2.0 technologies, has not only democratized access to information but also catalyzed open access publishing which has contributed majorly to the explosion of freely available digital information. This phenomenon poses tremendous challenges, and opportunities, for Libraries and Librarians in delivering on their core mission of facilitating research, teaching, and learning in discovering, collecting, organizing and preserving invaluable knowledge from this vast information base. In this paper, we explore how Web 2.0 technologies can be effectively harnessed for the evolution of libraries to their 2.0 version. The profession of Librarianship and the field of LIS have been in a constant state of flux. Today, the buzzword or phrase in the technology is “Web 2.0” which facilitate today’s libraries to be more dynamic institutions. Web 2.0 is the popular term for advanced Internet technology and applications including blogs, Wikis, RSS and social book marking. The two major components of Web 2.0 are the technological advances enabled by Ajax and other new applications such as RSS and Eclipse and the user empowerment that they support.

Keywords: Web 2.0; Library 2.0; Facebook; Flicker; YouTube; Copyright; Wikis and Social networking sites; Bulletin Board Service (BBS).
