Abstract: This paper presents the idea of Web 2.0, represents a significant paradigm shift in the way we view library services. It’s about a seamless user experience, where usability, interoperability, and flexibility of library systems are key features to future prospects. The library can build community (both online and physical), via using web 2.0 technologies (instant messaging, screen casting, blogs, wikis, etc.). It allows user participation through writing reviews and tagging in the catalog and making their opinion heard through blogs and wikis. It makes the library more transparent through its Web presence and its physical design. We need to make the library human, ubiquitous, and user-centered. This involves a change in our systems, our Web presence, and our very attitudes. It will take a lot of work for a library to be completely Web 2.0 based environment URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1275 Files in this item: 1
