- 1. Dr. Jagdish Arora Direrector, INFLIBNET Centre Ahmedabad ( [email_address] )
- 2. Web 2.0 (Tim O'Reilly, 2005) Business 2.0 Travel 2.0 Library 2.0 coined by Michael Casey in 2006 The talk is addressed to: Librarian 2.0 Citizen 2.0 Audience 2.0 05/02/2009 PRL
- 3. 05/02/2009 PRL Web 1.0 Web 2.0 Static Dynamic, interactive and collaborative Read only Read and Write Broadcast Participate Uni-directional Multi-directional
- 4. Refers to second generation of Internet-based services including tools that let people collaborate and share information online, such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies. Refers to ideas and techniques behind web-based services which encourage user interaction, communication, and collaboration. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 5. Modernized form of library service that reflects a transition within the library world in the way services are delivered to users. Application of concepts and technologies of Web 2.0 applied to the library services and collections. User’s participation and feedback is the key 05/02/2009 PRL
- 6. Conceptually, Library 2.0 is independent of technology. Every library activity designed or built with active participation and feedback of its user community qualifies to the concept of Library 2.0. Web 2.0 technologies can help libraries to create collaborative and participative environment deemed necessary to deliver and create services and resources. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 7. Tools and Techniques: Categories Synchronous Communication Content Delivery Collaborative Publishing Tools Collaborative Service Platforms 05/02/2009 PRL
- 9. Instant Messaging virtually instantaneous communication between two or more people using textual format. Real-time reference services Used at INFLIBNET for SOUL Support 05/02/2009 PRL

- 12. RSS Feeds Stands for Real Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary Facilitate a web site (or e-publisher) to list the newest published updates (like table of contents of journals, new articles) through a technology called XML A web user to keep track new updates on chosen website (s) 05/02/2009 PRL
- 13. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 14. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 15. HTML Feeds HTML feeds are basically RSS feeds converted into HTML codes. HTML codes can be placed onto the web sites and the resulting HTML feed can be customised to compliment the page. HTML feeds allows quicker access information to visiting users. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 16. Streaming Media Streaming multimedia is sequential delivery of multimedia content over a computer network that is displayed (or played back) to the end-user as it is being delivered by the provider. Video content on the web 05/02/2009 PRL
- 17. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 18. Podcasting Derived from two words, namely “broadcasting” and “iPod” (popular MP3 player from Apple Computer). Process of capturing audio digital-media files that can be distributed over the Internet using RSS feeds for playing-back on portable media players as well as computers. Users can subscribe to such feeds and automatically download these files directly into an audio management program on their PCs. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 19. Vodcasting Vodcasting stands for “video-on-demand”. Identical to podcasting. While podcasting is used for delivering audio files, vodcasting is used for delivering video content. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 20. Short Message Service (SMS) A mechanism of delivery of short messages over the mobile networks. The SMS enquiry services in a library allow patrons to use their mobile phones to SMS their inquiries to the library. The reference staff deployed to attend to such queries can respond immediately with answers or with links to more in-depth answers. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 21. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 22. Blogs A blog (an abridged form of term web log) is a website, usually maintained by an individuals, as their online diaries, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events. Lightweight publishing tools. Thousands of blogs are maintained by experts in different subject areas to share their knowledge, understanding and opinions with other people. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 23. Michael Casey: LibraryCrunch; Peter Suber: Open Access Used by libraries for promotion, publicity, outreach services. for dissemination of information, announcements for its new resources and events. Used at the INFLIBNET Centre 05/02/2009 PRL
- 24. Wikis Short form of WikiWikiWeb, a Software developed by Ward Cunningham, described it as “the simplest online database that could possibly work”. Collection of web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language. Used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 25. No Content validation and authenticity of information. Used in businesses to provide affordable and effective Intranets and for knowledge management. Wikis can essentially be equated to open web-pages, where anyone registered with it can publish on to it, add to it, amend it and change it. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 26. Wikis: Use in Libraries As a communication tool to enable social interaction among librarians and patrons. For developing subject gateways Users can share information, ask and answer questions, and librarians can participate within a wiki. A record of these transactions can be archived for perpetuity. Transcripts of such question-answer sessions would serve as a resource for the library to provide as reference. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 27. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 28. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 29. Social Network Web-based software that facilitates creation of a virtual social networks for communities of people who share interests and activities. MySpace, FaceBook, Del.icio.us, Frappr, and Flickr. Used by libraries to interact with their patrons and to share and exchange resources dynamically in electronic environment. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 30. Social Network Libraries can recommend resources to users through their network, based on similar profiles, demographics, previously-accessed resources, etc. INFLIBNET posts its photographs on YouTube 05/02/2009 PRL
- 31. Tagging A tag is a keyword or term or subject heading assigned to a piece of information (a picture, a geographic map, a blog entry, a video clip etc.,). Tags are usually chosen informally and personally by author / creator or by its consumer/viewers/community. Tagging is essentially a prerogative of user which enables them to assign keywords to a piece of information or object. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 32. Tagging The user can define and categorize information based on his or her own perception of given piece of information. In Library 2.0, users could tag the library's collection and thereby participate in the cataloguing process. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 33. Social Bookmarking Social bookmarking is a method of storing, organizing, searching and managing bookmarks of web sites using descriptive metadata. Users can save links to web pages that they want to remember and /or share with other users. These bookmarks can be made public, or saved privately or shared only with specified people or groups of people. Most social bookmark services encourage users to organize their bookmarks with informal tags. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 34. Social Bookmarking itList, Blinklist, Clip2, ClickMarks, HotLinks, del.icio.us, Furl, Simpy, Citeulike and Connotea, Stumbleupon, Ma.gnolia, Blue Dot, Diigo, etc. are some of the popular bookmarking services. Social Bookmarking: Use in Libraries Libraries can make use of social bookmarking sites using RSS feeds for subject disciplines or in areas of specialization relevant to them . 05/02/2009 PRL

- 36. Mash-up A web application that combines data from more than one source into a single integrated tool. Originally referred to the practice in pop music (notably hip-hop) of producing a new song by mixing two or more existing pieces. Content used in mashups is typically sourced from a third party via a public interface or API (web services ). 05/02/2009 PRL
- 37. Mashup is a hybrid of blogs, wikis, streaming media, content aggregators, instant messaging, and social networks. Mashups are applications, where two or more technologies or services are merged into a completely new, novel service. Google-Earth 05/02/2009 PRL
- 38. Retrivr: Merges the functioning of Flickr's image database and an algorithm to enable users to search images not by metadata, but by the data itself. Mashup Editors: Intel Mash Maker, Google Mashup Editor, LiquidApps, Microsoft Popfly, Serena Mashup Editor, Yahoo pipes, etc. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 39. Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) AJAX is a group of inter-related web development techniques used for creating interactive web applications. Technology facilitates web pages to interact with users by exchanging small amounts of data with the server “behind the scene” so that entire web pages do not have to be reloaded each time there is a need to fetch data from the server. Ajax is a cross-platform technique usable on many different operating systems. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 40. Application Programming Interface (API) API is a source code interface provided by an operating system, library or service to support requests made by computer programs. Language-independent APIs are written in a way that they can be called from several programming languages. Scopus API, for example, enables a user to select Scopus data elements for your own mashups. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 41. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 42. Library Toolbar A toolbar is a graphical user interface consisting of a panel of buttons, icons, menus or commands that are used more often in an application. The INFLIBNET Centre has recently developed its tool bar to show-off its e-resources, databases, products and services. 05/02/2009 PRL

- 47. The concept of Library 2.0 is borrowed from that of Web 2.0 and follows some of the same underlying philosophies. Encompasses a range of new and existing tools useful for libraries in providing new services and making existing services available in new and interesting ways. Implementation of some of these tools are likely to improve reputation and standing of libraries and are likely to make libraries more interesting, more relevant, and better acceptable place. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 48. Applications of Web 2.0 technologies in libraries will result in a meaningful and substantive change in libraries, its collection, services and methods of delivery of services. The library's collection will change, becoming more interactive and fully accessible. The library's services will change, focusing more on the facilitation of information transfer and information literacy rather than providing controlled access to it. 05/02/2009 PRL
- 49. The implications of these revolutionary technologies are enormous. Librarians are only beginning to acknowledge and adopt some of these technologies into their libraries. Library 2.0 proposes to bring conceptual, cultural and physical changes in libraries to keep pace with the changes in communities and their information seeking behaviour. 05/02/2009 PRL
