Abstract |
A survey was conducted among engineering institutional librarians of Andhra Pradesh, to observe their awareness on web 2.0 tools like blogs, Wikipedia, social networks, and photo sharing. The methodology for the proposed study is 'Survey Method' with the help of a structured questionnaire. It is observed from the study that greater proportion of the respondents have good knowledge about the Web 2.0 which provided innovative and interesting resources for librarians to serve their users as quickly and effectively as possible with new ways. The respondents having excellent skills in internet usage were more inclined towards adoption of Web 2.0 technologies in the library application. It is observed from the study that librarians are sentient of modern concepts of the web 2. 0, but they hardly execute it.
Keywords: Web, Internet, Social Network, YouTube.
