Tagging

Tagging essentially enables users to create subject headings for the object at hand.

It allows users to add and change not only content (data), but content describing content (metadata).

Tagging simply makes lateral searching easier.

The idea of this application is similar to an open catalogue, which allows the library patrons to add to the library catalogue.

81

Social Networking

A social network service focuses on the building and verifying of online Social Network for communities of people who share interests

Social networking could enable librarians and patrons not only to interact, but also share and change resources dynamically in an electronic medium

82

Social Networking

Social networks are perhaps the most promising and embracing technology today.

Synchronous Messaging

Real-time communication between two or more in typed text via computers over a network

Libraries have begun employing it to provide "chat reference" services, where patrons can synchronously communicate with librarians

Librarians and patrons will see and hear each other, and will share screens and files.

RSS Feeds

Heart of Web 2.0 XML based Protocol Provides users a way of syndicate and republish

content on the web Favourite websites can be kept in a automated

manner then checking it manually

Ideas for using RSS in Libraries

Current awareness and news

Guideline updates

Market Library Services

Table of Contents service

113

Mashups

Mashups are perhaps the single conceptual underpinning to all the technologies

It is hybrid of blogs, wikis, streaming media, content aggregator, instant messaging and social networking.

It allows the user to edit OPAC data and metadata, saves the user tags and a giant user driven catalogue, is created and mashed with traditional catalogue

114

Different Search Engines

115 Search Engines works

"robot" or "spider" software "crawls" the Web to build lists of words

Spider looks for words on a page - html title tags, metatags (key words for indexing)

engine index "ranks" or "weights" webpage based on an algorithm

Conclusion

The library's services will change, focusing more on the facilitation of information transfer and information literacy rather than providing controlled access

The best conception of Library 2.0 at this point in time would be a social network interface that the user designs.

It is virtual reality of the library, a place where one can not only search for books and journals, but also interacts with a community
