Abstract: Internet’s rapid growth and broad penetration, along with affordable enabling Web 2.0 technolgies, 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. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1033 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: LIS schools today face a greater challenge in updating their curriculum to accommodate the new technological innovations, necessitated by the market demands. Web 2.0 applications have not only transformed the nature of scholarly communication but is constantly reshaping the ways in which users search, find, access and utilize the information with the help of tools facilitated by open source software and user friendly web programming languages including AJAX. This preliminary survey shows how well the latest technologies are getting embedded into daily library services for the benefit of users and the feasibility of their coverage in LIS curriculum, with reference to Mumbai libraries. Practicing librarians are struggling everyday to keep themselves up-to-date with new Web 2.0 resources and utilities, to implement the same in their personal and professional work domains and hence expect the fresh graduates to be skilled with requisite technical competency to meet the challenges of the growing market demands. As for the LIS schools, bridging the gap between traditional librarianship and modern technologies will forever be a challenging issue. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1056 Files in this item: 1
