Web 2.0, Library 2.0 and the future of libraries
Learnt about the concept of Library 2.0 innovation enabling the participation users in sharing ideas through writing, rating, and commenting about library collections.
It was interesting to read various perspectives on Library 2.0 and the future of Libraries.

Library 2.0 can be helpful to users as a starategy guide to find information, gather knowledge and create content. However, users can play only a limited part in this direction; the system should be finally decided by professional librarians according to the mission and goals of the institution keeping in mind the views and suggestions of the users. This is another technological development for continuous improvement in our services.
