Library Journal Review

You may think Library 1.0 works just fine, thank you very much! However, if you want to put a name to a so-called paradigm shift in web technology and how society uses it, then "Web 2.0" and the piggybacking "Library 2.0" should work for you and at the same time keep Internet consultants and book publishers happy. Web 2.0, and by extension Library 2.0, refers to the web as a platform and is all about collaboration and user-created information spaces. In How To Use Web 2.0 in Your Library, London-based internet consultant Bradley (Internet Power Searching: The Advanced Manual. 2d ed.) presents an informal overview of Web 2.0 applications useful to librarians, including RSS feeds, web logs, podcasting, start pages, social bookmarking, web sites (including wikis), IM, and photo sharing. A final chapter discusses implementation. Social networking is included under a "miscellaneous" heading and is given brief treatment. The most useful parts of this book are the online resources. A companion web site is available. In Library 2.0 and Beyond, editor Courtney (coordinator of outreach and learning, Ohio State) puts forth a more academic treatment of Web/Library 2.0 concepts with contributed chapters on library catalogs, wikis, podcasting, handhelds, mashups (combining two or more web services), social networking, folksonomies and user-based tagging, gaming concepts as learning tools, virtual worlds, and digital storytelling. Most contributors are from an academic setting (Steven J. Bell), but public librarians (Michael Casey) are also represented. As librarians and libraries continue to evolve and adapt along with the web and its users, categorizing and capturing the rapid change under a particular rubric such as Library 2.0 can be useful. Of these two guides, Library 2.0 and Beyond is the more serious effort and is useful to academic librarians and library students looking for more in-depth coverage. If you are just hoping to get started with Web 2.0 or Library 2.0 in any library, Bradley's book will introduce you to key resources.

Booklist Review

For those who subscribe to Web 2.0 library-related blogs through RSS feeds, powerhouse names such as Elizabeth Black and Michael Casey are common reads. Editor Courtney has pulled together the best and the brightest who write and practice Web 2.0 to author chapters on next-generation online tools. This text is not a how-to on Web 2.0; rather, each chapter simply explains an online tool, and how it is being used today, using a few superb library examples (ranging from public to academic), and then discusses future possibilities. The suggested readings exemplify the notion of Web 2.0 and publishing, as the recommendations are well balanced between journal articles and freely accessible blog entries. This is a must-have for any library wanting to stay relevant in today's ever-changing and challenging environment.--Mastel, Kristen Copyright 2007 Booklist
