Web 2.0 technologies have been seen by many information
professionals as critical to the future development of library
services. This has led to the use of the term Library 2.0 to denote
the kind of service that is envisaged. There has been considerable
debate about what Library 2.0 might encompass, but, in the context
of information literacy, it can be described as the application of
interactive, collaborative, and multimedia technologies to
web-based library services and collections. These developments
challenge librarians involved in information literacy with more
complex and diverse web content, a range of exciting new tools with
which to teach, and a steep learning curve to adjust to the
constant change of the Web 2 0 world.This edited collection from an
international team of experts: provides a practically-based
overview of emerging Library 2.0 tools and technologies for
information literacy practitioners; addresses the impact of the
adoption of these technologies on information literacy teaching;
provides case study exemplars for practitioners to help inform
their practice; and examines the implications of Library 2.0 for
the training of information literacy professionals.This book
contains topics including: School Library 2. 0: new skills and
knowledge for the future; information literacy, Web 2.0 and public
libraries; the blog as an assessment tool; using Wikipedia to
eavesdrop on the scholarly conversation; information literacy and
RSS feeds; library instruction on the go: podcasting; sparking
Flickrs of insight into controlled vocabularies and subject
searching; joining the YouTube conversation to teach information
literacy; going beyond Google; and, teaching information literacy
through digital games. This book will be essential reading for all
library and information practitioners and policy makers with
responsibility for developing and delivering information literacy
programmes to their users. It will also be of great interest to
students of library and information studies.
