Before I would like us look at Web 1.0 to understand were we are and what changes had we adopted as libraries. Before Web 2,0 there was Web 1.0 and it is first stage in the Web World Web. Web 1.0 was made up to web page connected to hyperlink. It was all about simple, reading home page and were search engine AltaVista and Netscape, dominated browser. Chat room were global platform demanding, participation and hosted no adverting
Web 2.0 came with shocking changes '.revolutionary changes" and it allows users to interact with data(one can be able to edit a document) . It allowing the customers to interact with the information and enables anyone to contribute to(as a customer you can give suggestions about the products or product ) Web application can now be created that with users, the way were become acustomed with desktop application.Web pages gives people the ability to express them by using certain platforms (bloggers, facebook and twitter)
Type site are possible to combine data from various source and turn that to data that a person can use like Flick (gallery of adventure or traveling , can be combine with Google Map of that site are and one can use Diigo to bookmarked and tag necessary information for certain subject or area .An people can interact to allow people to see where are a and where are they traveling to either read review on their blogs and facebook post
Most of the popular example of web 2.0
Email
Google Maps
Flick
Facebook
Delicious
Diigo

Then what does Web 2.0 have to do with the library service and user information need behaviour? Historical Web 1.0 has significant role in the libraries eg Britannica Online , Wikipedia, publication and library OPAC."Web
2.0" will have substantial implications for libraries, and
recognizes that while these implications keep very close to the
history and mission of libraries, they still necessitate a new
paradigm for librarianship. Web 2.0 technologies such as synchronous messaging and streaming
media, blogs, wikis, social networks, tagging and RSS feeds
changed in how libraries provide access to their
collections and user support for that access.Jack M. Maness,MLS, University of Colorado at

Libraries adopted or use Library 2.0 as Library vehicle providing examples
of its substantial implications for librarianship. It is necessary to focus
discussion and experimentation within the community, and will be
valuable in the implementation of new web-based services
"Library 2.0" as "the application of
interactive, collaborative, and multi-media web-based technologies to
web-based library services and collections," and suggests this
definition be adopted by the library science community. . The application of Library 2.0 theory to
aspects of librarianship reaching beyond Web 2.0 technology is
welcome, of course, but very likely be framed by a different
vocabulary.
A theory for
Library 2.0 could be understood to have these four essential
elements:
• It is
user-centered. Users participate in the creation of the content and
services they view within the library's web-presence, OPAC, etc. The
consumption and creation of content is dynamic, and thus the roles of
librarian and user are not always clear.
• It
provides a multi-media experience . Both the collections and services
of Library 2.0 contain video and audio components. While this is not
often cited as a function of Library 2.0, it is here suggested that
it should be.
• It is
socially rich . The library's web-presence includes users' presences.
There are both synchronous (e.g. IM) and asynchronous (e.g. wikis)
ways for users to communicate with one another and with librarians.
• It is
communally innovative. This is perhaps the single most important
aspect of Library 2.0. It rests on the foundation of libraries as a
community service, but understands that as communities change,
libraries must not only change with them, they must allow users to
change the library. It seeks to continually change its services, to
find new ways to allow communities, not just individuals to seek,
find, and utilize information.
Library
service had been migrated in more to social Web 2.0,most libraries are using Facebook, twitter and whatapps to provide means by which user can interact with one another or directly with librarian . It provide users access to collection online and explore digital repository application and the library catalog. Though the history library 's role has been as a communal gathering place, one shared identity , communication and action. Social networking enabled librarian and users not only to interact but to share and change resources in an electronic medium. By letting users create account with the library network, see what other users have in common to their information needs, recommend resource to one another and they can add tag to resources . Through Web 2.0 library's service changed, focus more on the facilitation of information transfer and information literacy then providing controlled access

Well done Khosi....A good reflection indeed. I like your use of images and videos - except that I think you had a problem embedding the video correctly as I cannot open it.
