Libraries have to evolve continuously to keep up with the changing needs of their users. In the past, libraries were just places to find books. The creation of Library 2.0 refers to a collection of online tools used to deliver services in an interactive online experience. With Library 2.0, the library will be a meeting place existing both online and in the physical world where needs for entertainment and information can be met. People can actively contribute information, giving them a stronger voice in library collections and services.
One of the interesting things about Web 2.0 is that users can easily contribute to the content they are viewing. Conversely, websites can be misused and abused. In the education community, Web 2.0 has significant benefits. It:
1. encourages student engagement and increase participation – particularly among quieter pupils without the anxiety of having to raise questions in front of peers in class.
2. is available anytime and most anywhere, which enables individuals to extend their learning.
3. encourages attention to detail with written assignments because students feel a sense of ownership and engagement when they publish their work online.
