Task#4

The main aim of Web 2.0 seems to be finding ways of achieving greater efficiency for a larger quantity of users on a bigger scale while maximising attributes that can be accessed with the widest possible number of online services.
In order to make libraries into a multidimensional service and not restricted to just the traditional one dimensional WEB 2.0 will allow the use by both the library and the users acess to as many areas to gain service as there are possibilities. This would bring the library into the 21st century with technology, tools, services, participation and social values. I liked this idea from Mary Ellen Bates -"The collaborative web, on the other hand, is all about being part of a conversation, a community" and also providing a way of "sharing recommendations among your clients and vendors, participating in relevant groups, and answering questions."
It reminds you that as ideas and adaptations grow so too can the potential of the internet services and interactions.

I am looking forward to getting some new IT skills and attaching meaning to those IT labels that are always being spoken about. Can't wait to get going!
