Web 2.0: named by Tim O`Reilly in 2004, to refer to a second
generation in Web history based on user communities and a wide
range of services, such as social networks, blogs, wikis or
folksonomies, that encourage collaboration and efficient exchange
of information among users.
Web 2.0 : Describes the trend in the use of world Wide Web
technology and web design that aims to enhance creativity,
information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among
users.
These concepts have led to the development and evolution of
web-based communities and hosted services, such as
social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies.
3. WEB 2.0... What's The Deal?
The term " Web 2.0 " is commonly associated with web
applications that facilitate interactiveinformation
sharing,interoperability,user-centered designandcollaborationon
theWorld Wide Web. Examples of Web 2.0 include web-based
communities,hosted services,web applications,social-networking
sites,video-sharing sites,wikis,blogs,mashupsandfolksonomies. A Web
2.0 site allows its users to interact with other users or to change
websitecontent, in contrast to non-interactive websites where users
are limited to the passive viewing of information that is provided
to them. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0 )
Controlled classification schemes ---> Tagging coupled with
controlled schemes
OPAC ---> Personalized social network interface
Catalog of largely reliable print and electronic holdings
---> Catalog of reliable and suspect holdings, web-pages, blogs,
wikis, etc
5. What do we mean by "Social Media" ?
Social media is media designed to be disseminated through
social interaction, created using highly accessible and scalable
publishing techniques .
It supports the democratization of knowledge and information,
transforming people from content consumers into content
producers.Andreas Kaplanand Michael Haenlein define social media as
"a group of Internet-based applications that build on the
ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0 and that allow
the creation and exchange of user-generated content.
Social mediauses Internet and web-based technologies to
transform broadcast media monologues (one to many) into social
media dialogues (many to many). http://

6. Social Media in a Library Context: Rationale
Raises awareness and promotes the library in terms of its
available services and programs
Manages the librarys brand and reputation and further
disseminates the library's mission statement message (outbound
PR).
Generates ideas for library improvements via
crowdsourcing.
Provides frameworks for user-generated content.
Builds stronger customer service communication lines with
patrons (and provides good data regarding patron usage via web
metrics) SOCIAL MEDIA ENABLES COMMUNITY BUILDING SURROUNDING YOUR
INSTITUTION'S PRACTICES!

Library 2.0: The application of interactive, collaborative, and
multi-media web-based technologies to web-based library services
and collections.
8. Library 2.0 Theory
It is user-centered . Users participate in the creation of the
content and services they view within the librarys web-presence,
OPAC, etc. The consumption and creation of content is dynamic, and
thus the roles of librarian and user are not always clear.
It provides a multi-media experience. Both the collections and
services of Library 2.0 contain video and audio components.
It is socially rich. The librarys web-presence includes users
presences. There are both synchronous (e.g. IM) and asynchronous
(e.g. wikis) ways for users to communicate with one another and
with librarians.
It is communally innovative. It rests on the foundation of
libraries as a community service, but understands that as
communities change, libraries must not only change with them, they
must allow users to change the library. It seeks to continually
change its services, to find new ways to allow communities, not
just individuals to seek, and utilize information.
9. Tenets of Library 2.0
it allows a user presence within the library web-presence;
it allows collaboration between patrons and librarians;
and it allows a more dynamic experience.
Becoming a more web-based application (they often allow
co-browsing, file-sharing, screen-capturing and data sharing
10. Synchronous Messaging widely known as instant messaging
(IM). Libraries have begun to provide chat reference services,
where patrons can synchronous communicate with librarians much as
they would in a face-to-face reference context. Streaming media are
multimedia that are constantly received by, and normally presented
to, an end-user while being delivered by a streaming provider (the
term "presented" is used in this article in a general sense that
includes audio or video playback). The name refers to the delivery
method of the medium rather than to the medium itself. The
distinction is usually applied to media that are distributed over
telecommunications networks , as most other delivery systems are
either inherently streaming (e.g., radio , television ) or
inherently non-streaming (e.g., books , video cassettes , audio CDs
). The verb 'to stream' is also derived from this term, meaning to
deliver media in this manner. Internet television is a commonly
streamed medium.
11.
Blogs and Wikis
A Blog is a type of website usually maintained by an individual
with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or
other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly
displayed in reverse-chronological order. Blog can also be used as
a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. Many blogs
provide commentary or news on a particular subjects; others
functions more personal online diaries.
Wikis are essentially open web-pages, where anyone registered
with the wiki can publish to it, and change it. the lack of peer
review and editorship is a challenge to librarians, not in that
users should
12. Social Network Social networks enable messaging, blogging,
streaming media, and tagging.
Tagging enables users to crate subject headings for the object
at hand.
Users could tag the librarys collection and thereby participate
in the collection process.
Tags and standardized subjects are not mutually exclusive. The
catalog of Library 2.0 would enable users to follow both
standardized and user-tagged subjects.

RSS Feeds
- Really Simple Syndication to make it easier to keep track of
changes.
- An RSS document (which is called a feed includes full or
summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and
authorship. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely
updates from favored websites.
Mashups
they are ostensibly hybrid applications, where two or more
technologies or services are conflated into a completely new novel
service.
Retrivr, for example conflates Flickr's image database and an
experimental information architecture algorithm to enable users to
search images not by metadata, but by the data itself. Users search
for images by sketching images. In some ways, many of the
technologies discussed above are mashups in their very nature.
Another example is WikiBios , a site where users create online
biographies of one another, essentially blending blogs with social
networks

22. A 2.0 Model For The Future... Library CMS & Social
Media App Integration
23.
Library 2.0 is completely user-centered and user-driven. It is
a mashup of traditional library services and innovative Web 2.0
services. It is a library for the 21st century, rich in content,
interactivity, and social activity.
Library 2.0 is not about searching, but finding; not about
access, but sharing.
