Preface
Development of new technology has changed the way people
communicate around the globe. This new technology has changed the
way people collaborate & share information in the context of libraries. The
availability of the new technology gives libraries power to improve the
customer-driven services and for evolving a library 2.0 environment.
This book is the compilation of 22 different articles that deals with
the new trends and issues of application of technology in the field of LIS.
