TASK 4: What is Library 2.0

Library 2.0 has transformed the way library services are delivering to library users. It provides new tools to make the library space (both virtual and physical) more interactive, collaborative and driven by community needs. It’s a collaborative two-way social interaction between library staff and library customers. Library 2.0 requires user participation and feedback in the development and maintenance of library services.

Library consists of the following 7 components:
·         Interactivity
·         Users
·         Participation
·         Libraries & Library Services
·         Web & Web 2.0
·         Social aspects
·         Technology & Tools
