Week 6: #15 On Library 2.0 & Web 2.0

The major feature on Web 2.0 is that Web is no longer "read only", it's also writable. With all the tools Web 2.0 offers, new web sites such as Flickr, MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube pop up and become so popular. In Web 2.0, Web moves from simply being sites and search engines to a shared network space that drives work, research, education, entertainment and social activities—essentially everything people do.

While all these changes happening to the library users, in order to continue to serve them, libraies need to provide new services such as using instant messaging, building Weblogs to meet users online, creating MySpace profiles to build connections with users online. With iHCPL training, we will be able to provide better services to our users.
