User-Generated Content and its Impact on Web-Based Library Services
examines the impact of user-generated content on web-based library
services. It begins with an overview of Web 2.0 tools and
technologies and a brief look at the emerging semantic tools of Web
3.0 and their implications for libraries. The book investigates the
changing role of the end user as both a creator and consumer of web
content and what this means for society s perception and
understanding of information. The author addresses the advantages
and challenges of using these tools to bring community expertise
and opinion into the library, from reinvention of the library
website as a community rather than a collection to the issues of
moderating user-generated content. The book also explores the
notion of low-fidelity authority, understanding that by
acknowledging the value in content that does not necessarily meet
traditional definition of authority, it creates the potential to
achieve a much greater level of relevance and engagement with
users. Throughout the book, conceptual discussion is illustrated
with real-world examples and practical suggestions for library
practitioners.
