Library 2.0; The Libraries Image in the Mirror of Web 2.0

This is the abstract of article written by Dr V. Vishwa Mohan and Vahideh Zarea Gavgani and presrented in 53rd All India Library conference, 13-16 December 2007. It has been published in the Conference Procceding . The Slide Show will be shared for more information.



The intrinsic image of libraries, in the society or in the organisation or institution wherever they are located, is salient and nuclear. But, the libraries and the librarianship did not enjoy such an imposing image so far. The emerging web 2.0 environment might provide ample scope for the libraries to project their due image as library 2.0. The paper discusses the probable features of library 2.0 and presents a brief account of the image of the library 2.0 in the mirror of Web 2.0. It concludes with a hope that in the mirror of Web 2.0 the image of Library 2.0 will be more glorious.
