The term Library 2.0 relates to the use of social media and inetrnet for provison of library services in the current age. We can look at various services and feedback from social media sites that our: Local/Community / TAFE / University or other libraries now have.
These social media formats include: Twitter and Facebook. ALso for a digital information age - the library may use the internet with: SAGE and Oxford Reference through the State Library system, or TROVE throught the National Library.
Hope that answers this first questions.
* Looking at some of the student presentations thus far: we have a lot of new technology coming into this service 'industry'. We had a Library at Texas that HAS NO BOOKS - its all eBooks! That will put the silverfish into a cundundrum! Where will the dust go now? They may have their place, but a good book will be hard to beat! I love history and as much as we think we are more adanced - we may not be as far progressed as we think. As for Library 2.0 - we will need 'back up' hard copies - so where will they go? Onto any of these vacany shelves or will we file them electronically as that saves paper? What a dilema to be in - glad I'll stick to books, as for the rest of Libary 2.0 - we still have some presentations to watch yet. Added 21 11 2013 :-)
Hi Bob - web 2.0 is about allowing participation and self publishing. As i explained in class, or even if you looked it up. The basic ones are twitter,blogs, facebook , youtube etc. It certainly isn't about databases or the internet generally.
