Describe three applications of Web 2.0 in libraries.

According to Stephens and Collins (2007), Web 2.0 is the next incarnation of the World Wide Web, where digital tools allow users to create, change, and publish dynamic content of all kinds. Other Web 2.0 tools syndicate and aggregate this content. In this ecology, users will all be publishers and creators of their own information content. Since these applications allow people to make connections, do conversations, and collaborate, they are also known as the Read/Write Web, social software, and social computing. This paper looks at various web 2.0 technologies and how they can be applied in a library set-up.

According to Curran, Murray and Christian (2007) as quoted by Mahmood (2011), for a website to be web 2.0, it must fulfill the following conditions:

- User generated content, as opposed to content solely posted by the site author
- Treats users as if they are co-developers of the site
- Highly customisable and interface
- The core application of the website must runs through the browser and web server, rather than on a desktop platform
- The incorporation of popular internet trends, the sharing of media and content and the use of web standards
- Integration of emerging web technologies

Stephens and Collins (2007) provide another dimension of looking at these conditions. They argue that the principles of web 2.0 include conversations, community, participation, a sense of experience, and sharing. These can be elaborated as follows:

- Conversations: In web 2.0 platforms, user participation, discussion and feedback are welcomed and encouraged.
