Abstract:
The information environment within which libraries find themselves is
changing, probably faster than ever before. These changes offer great
opportunities for progressive libraries to reach out far beyond the boundaries
of their buildings, and to engage with an increasingly literate body of
information consumers within the buildings and at remote locations. In this,
present remote access techniques (web techniques) play major role and
significance on the concept of Library 2.0 (Lib 2.0)
This article posits a descriptive formula for "Lib 2.0". It explains the recent
thinking of Lib as "Lib 2.0" and especially covers Lib 2.0 services such as
Synchronous Messaging, Blogs, Wikis, Tagging, Multimedia Sharing,
Social Networks & Book-Marketing, and RSS Feed, which make the
radical trust on Lib 2.0 among literate body of information and patrons.
