| Abstract: | Libraries, as we know them today, can be defined by the term Library 1.0. This defines the way resources are kept on shelves or at a computer behind a login. These resources can be taken from a shelf, checked out by the library staff, taken home for a certain length of time and absorbed, and then returned to the library for someone else to avail of. Library 1.0 is a one-directional service that takes people to the information they require. Library 2.0 – or L2 as it is now more commonly addressed as – aims to take the information to the people by bringing the library service to the Internet and getting the users more involved by encouraging feedback participation. This paper presents an overview of Library 2.0 and introduces web 2.0 concepts. |
