Excercise 1 - Web & Library 2.0

So what exactly is Library 2.0?

It is a term used to describe the online, user-focussed development of library services, allowing library users to access and participate in their local library service. Public libraries have embraced modern-day technology, allowing its members to interact, keep up to date and contribute to their library. Through use of social media, libraries are able to target demographics and provide them with enriched, direct services and information.

Some Web 2.0 applications commonly used by librarians are:
