Document from the year 2017 in the subject Library Science, Information- / Documentation Science, , language: English, abstract: In this paper I will discuss how various web 2.0 tools and technologies can be applied in libraries in order to facilitate service delivery. According to Stephens and Collins, Web 2.0 is the next incarnation of the World Wide Web, where digital tools allow users to create, change, and publish dynamic content of all kinds. Other Web 2.0 tools syndicate and aggregate this content. In this ecology, users will all be publishers and creators of their own information content. Since these applications allow people to make connections, do conversations, and collaborate, they are also known as the Read/Write Web, social software, and social computing. Web 2.0 technologies have found application in businesses, schools, libraries and government services. Online ecommerce businesses such as ebay, alibris and amazon use web 2.0 technologies extensively.

In a world where computing power, ubiquity and connectivity create powerful new ways to facilitate learning, Web 2.0 and Libraries examines how librarians and information professionals can utilize emerging technologies to expand service and resource delivery. With contributions from leading professionals, including lecturers, librarians and e-learning technologists, the book explores strategic approaches for effectively implementing technological change in your library.

Web 2.0 technology is a hot topic at the moment, and public librarians in particular are beginning to feel the pressure to apply these tools. Indeed, Web 2.0 has the potential to transform library services, but only if the policy and strategy for those services are ready to be transformed. The author not only reviews these tools and provides practical advice and case studies on how they can be applied in the public library setting, but also recommends the policies and business cases that begin to create a new strategy for public libraries. Particularly geared to the public library setting Advice on using in conjunction or integrated with other public library services Examples of best practice
