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.
