Web 2.0, library 2.0, librarian 2.0, innovative services for sustainable car...Cheryl Peltier-Davis
Abstract
Caribbean libraries are being challenged to adapt to changes in the external environment. Challenges in the form of budget cuts and shrinking resources, retraining staff and reorganizing workflows, delivering traditional and innovative services to an Internet -savvy consumer, and competition from aggressive rival information services such as Google. As a result of these and other challenges in this increasingly complex and virtual environment, library administrators have been coerced into becoming more creative in their attempt to provide new and improved facilities, products and services. This paper analyses the linkages between Web 2.0, Library 2.0 and Librarian 2.0 and discusses the benefits of developing library services centered on the Web 2.0 model. The paper identifies specific Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, wikis, social networks, folksonomies (tagging and tag clouds), RSS feeds, podcasts, instant messaging and mashups and suggests ways Caribbean libraries can harness and integrate these technologies to provide innovative and sustainable library services. The paper also provides a comprehensive resource list of these emerging technologies which are available free on the Internet.
This document discusses the history and evolution of Web 2.0 technologies and how they are used. It defines Web 2.0 as a second generation of web services that allow for more collaboration and sharing of information online. Examples of Web 2.0 technologies covered include blogs, wikis, social networking sites, photo and video sharing sites, and how these have applications for learning, research, and libraries. The document also discusses how concepts from Web 2.0 can be applied to libraries to create a Library 2.0 model with more user-centered services and participation.

Slides from a presentation at the 2009 American Association for History and Computing (AAHC) an affiliate at the American Historical Association (AHA) meeting by Jean Root Green, Jessica Lacher-Feldman, Mark Matienzo, and Amy Schindler.
This presentation gives insights on social media tools that can be used by libraries. Likewise, it includes points to ponder before delving into this new world (for some it is still) of social media.
Web 1.0 allowed one-way communication where users could only consume information. Examples included encyclopedias that did not allow user contributions.
Web 2.0 enabled two-way interaction and user-generated content through technologies like dynamic languages and RSS. Users could now socialize, bookmark web pages, create blogs, and contribute to sites like Wikipedia.
Web 3.0, also called the Semantic Web, will associate data to automatically reconfigure mobile services. It could end Google's dominance by empowering volunteer-edited sites like Wikipedia that make all users count.
Blogs and wikis are similar in that they allow users to publish content online and contribute to participatory web culture. They differ in that blogs serve as forums for individuals to share opinions while wikis are collaborative efforts to share and edit knowledge.
The three tiers in a three-tier architecture are the presentation tier (user interface), business logic tier (processes user input), and database tier (stores and retrieves data). Each tier has a specific role.
Wikis are useful collaboration tools because they allow groups to create centralized online resources and document processes through collaborative contributions and edits.
The document discusses the emergence of Web 2.0 technologies and their potential applications for education. It covers topics like wikis, blogs, social networking sites, tagging, podcasting and how they can be used for collaborative learning, student content creation, and new forms of digital storytelling. The document argues that while some educational practices predate Web 2.0, new technologies allow for more distributed, participatory, and object-oriented pedagogies.
The document discusses Web 2.0 and how it differs from earlier versions of the web. Web 2.0 focuses on user-generated content, collaboration, and sharing information online through social media and user-editable sites.

(Design and Development of a Rehabilitative Eye-Tracking Based Home Automatio...Rayan Youssef
Locked-in syndrome is known to be a condition in which a patient loses the ability to control nearly all voluntary muscles in the body except for the eye. In today's world, healthcare facilities have the means and equipment necessary to help such patients and take care of their needs, which includes medical care and patient comfort. However, such dedicated professional services are not commonly provided at the patient's dwelling, and more can still be done when it comes to patient's comfort and self-reliance. This paper delineates the design and development of an eye-tracking based home automation system that provides the targeted locked-in patient with the ability to control appliances using his/her eyes. In the developed system, eye movement, pupil position, size, and velocity are determined using a built-in laptop camera in conjunction with a series of algorithms coded in MATLAB®. The camera is adjusted in such a way so as to be leveled horizontally with the eye-sight of the patient. Further algorithms are to allow the user to control and move the mouse cursor with his/her eye movements. A specially designed graphical user interface provides the individual with the options as to what he/she wishes to control. An Arduino microcontroller differentiates the received instructions from the user and provides an output to the intended device. The controlled appliances within the patient's habitat are doors, window shutters, lightings, bed control, television set, and heating ventilation and air-conditioning. Further modular improvement of this system could be introduced as need arises. The system was validated using a series of tests on normal control individuals. The validation results show high accuracy and precision. The significance of this system lies in helping locked-in patients gain control over some aspects of their lives; accordingly, they will no longer require continuous assistance to secure their comfort but rather be self-reliant.

Multi Purpose Room , US Embassy, 142 Old Hope Road , Kingston 6
10:00 am – 12 noon.
Web 1.0 focused on content delivery and consumption by students, driven by institutional needs rather than learners. Web 2.0 aims to enhance creativity, information sharing, and collaboration among users through user-generated content and two-way information flows. Popular Web 2.0 tools for teachers include blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, social networking, podcasts and video sharing which facilitate knowledge creation and sharing in new ways.
Web 2.0 for_science_educators spr 2012Cathy Outten
Web 2.0 allows users to create and share dynamic content, moving from a "read only" web to an interactive "read and write" experience. It includes social media sites, blogs, wikis, video and photo sharing. Using these tools in education provides opportunities for students to collaborate, share information, and engage in constructivist learning. Educators should consider their objectives and appropriate tools to achieve them while balancing privacy and security issues. Examples of free Web 2.0 tools discussed are blogs, wikis, YouTube, social bookmarking, and social networking.
Web 2.0 refers to websites that allow users to interact with each other and change website content, in contrast to earlier websites where users could only passively view information. Key features of Web 2.0 include user tagging of content, software extensions that make the web an application platform, and syndication technologies like RSS that notify users of content changes. Popular social networking sites of Web 2.0 include Facebook for connecting with friends, Twitter for sharing updates, and Flickr for photo sharing.

expectations of today’s library users.
In this vision, the library makes information
available wherever and whenever the user
requires and seeks to ensure that barriers to
use and reuse are removed.
5. Library 2.0 – four elements:
It is user-centred: New information is created via collaboration. Users
participate in the creation of the content and services they view within the
library's web-presence, OPAC, etc. The consumption and creation of content is
dynamic, and thus the roles of librarian and user are not always clear.
provides a multi-media experience: Both the collections and services
It
of Library 2.0 contain video and audio components.
is socially rich: There is social interaction - the library's web-presence
It
includes users' presences. There are both synchronous (e.g. Instant messaging
IM) and asynchronous (e.g. wikis) ways for users to communicate with one
another and with librarians.
is communally innovative: This is perhaps the single most important
It
aspect of Library 2.0. It rests on the foundation of libraries as a community
service, but understands that as communities change, libraries must not only
change with them, they must allow users to change the library.
6. Blogs (web logs)
are part of a website set aside specifically for regular author
comments and entries. This is often daily or weekly. They can also include
images or video and links to other sites. Visitors are encouraged to interact
and leave their own comments, feedback and links. Blogs are a way for
authors to reflect on life or daily business and can become like an online
diary or soapbox. Examples include:
https://www.blogger.com/

Ultimo TAFE Library Blog - http://sydneyinstituteonline.net/uclibrary/
Aussie Library Blogs - http://librariesinteract.info/australian-library-blogs/
Swinburne Library Blog - http://blogs.swinburne.edu.au/library/
7. Microblogs
Microblogs are typically smaller and more regular then
traditional blogs.
They are limited to short sentences to a maximum of 140
characters.
You can also add images, video links and URL’s.
As well as being displayed in a web interface, postings can be
forwarded to SMS or email.
Examples include:
http://twitter.com/
http://www.tumblr.com/

8. Music sharing
Music sharing sites specifically allow musicians
to share their own works with
the public. Musicians who have not been signed
with a record company have
an outlet to publish and sell their own original
works to millions of people
daily. Some of these sites feature creative
remixes and mash-ups. Examples
include:
http://ccmixter.org/
http://grooveshark.com/
9. Photo/image
Photo/image sharing sites allows users to post
photography, video and
personal artworks. It allows people to exhibit their own
work and comment on
the works of others. Works are categorised and tagged to
enable efficient
searching and linking. Examples include:
http://flickr.com/
State Library of New South Wales collection's photostream

10. RSS feeds
RSS feeds This is special software which is used for delivering regularly
changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online
publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.
The RSS reader can be web based or available through email clients like
Outlook. Information is delivered to you rather than you going to the websites.
It’s a quick and timesaving way for keeping up to date with information.

11. Social bookmarking
Social bookmarking sites allow users to store references to other
sites by creating and organizing bookmarks, similar to storing
favourite sites in your web browser software but accessible from
any web enabled computer.
Descriptions can be added to these bookmarks, including
comments and voting.
This is called social tagging where links are made between shared
content.
These sites can include highlighting tools and sticky notes. Sites
can be made public or private. Examples include:
http://www.delicious.com/
12. Social networks
Social networks are web sites that focus on building relationships
between
people with shared interests and/or activities. There are many tools
offered
by these sites to locate and link to families and friends, share photos,
promote events and keep in touch with regular updates and postings.
Examples include:
National library of Australia
https://www.facebook.com/National.Library.of.Australia
13. Social news
Social news sites allow users to submit news items and
stories on a particular
subject from elsewhere on the web. Stories are ranked
based on the number
of submissions and then listed on the news site. Site users
can then post
comments and feedback on the stories, popularity then
moves the news item
higher on the list. Examples include:
http://digg.com/
http://www.reddit.com/
14. Video sharing
Video sharing sites specifically allow for the uploading, viewing and sharing
of video content. User-generated content can include movie clips, TV clips,
music videos, video blogging and short amateur videos. Content is publically
available to viewers and can also be embedded into web pages outside of the
hosting site. Examples include:
http://www.youtube.com/

15. Virtual worlds
Virtual worlds, or virtual hangouts, are online 3D communities
where people can “virtually” walk around and interact with each
other. Users create an online person called an avatar which is a
3D character that represents their own personality. Avatars can
meet, socialise, buy and sell with virtual services and property.
Many businesses and training organisations create virtual spaces
to connect with potential customers. Examples include:
http://secondlife.com/
http://www.smallworlds.com/
Virtual library opens in Second Life

16. Wikis
Wikis are websites that can be created and modified by
anyone using simple text editing tools through the web
browser software. These are great to allow multiple people
to collaborate and work on the same project from
anywhere at any time. Different access rights can be
granted to users to create, edit and delete information. The
site can be made public or private. Examples:
http://www.wetpaint.com/
http://www.wikispaces.com/
