Abstract
Internet’s rapid growth and broad penetration, along with affordable enabling
Web 2.0 technolgies, has not only democratized access to information but
also catalyzed open access publishing which has contributed majorly to the
explosion of freely available digital information. This phenomenon poses
tremendous challenges, and opportunities, for Libraries and Librarians in
delivering on their core mission of facilitating research, teaching, and learning
in discovering, collecting, organizing and preserving invaluable knowledge
from this vast information base. In this paper we explore how Web 2.0
technologies can be effectively harnessed for the evolution of libraries to
their 2.0 version.
