Recommendations

Local studies, Children, Teenage/youth, Adult Fiction and Information/ Reference all these five services are using 2.0 technologies in Parramatta libraries.  All these service are provided their official web and blog.

Library 2.0 is a way of providing library service through new internet technologies as a platform of service on net.

Local Studies - Parramatta City Library educating its staff members about Local Studies/history by using 2.0 technology. The staff members are making a blog about the history of entire community, area, people and library. It has plenty of interesting stories and pictures, also variety of books provided on online catalogue which is highly recommended.

Children’s – Parramatta City Library have very good collection of eresources for kids such as story book, detective book, video, games and magazine for kids enjoyment. The library have plenty of activities for kids. But my recommendation is to provide more children activities like musical or physical.     

Teenage/Youth – Parramatta City Library also have various collection for Teenage/youth for their enjoyment. My recommendation is to add more educational programme for youth which will be help to build their future.      

Adult Fiction- – Parramatta City Library has large collection of adult fiction. Which is serve the community sufficiently.

Information/Reference - – Parramatta City Library have well covered information/references belongs to this service area. These library is serving for large community of l where people can find about their items are looking for. Online services of the library include a Facebook, twitter and RSS Feed, youTube, wikies and fliker where people can interchange massage and opinion and get more information about present library activities. Parramatta City library is generating more innovative plan to improve the library facility for the community.  

 
The example of libraries in the world who is using library 2.0 technology to its fullest are – The National Library of Australia (http://www.nla.gov.au/), The German National library (http://www.dnb.de/EN/wir), The New york Public (www.nypl.org).

Evaluation

Library 2.0 is a new way of providing library service through new internet technologies, with emphasis on “user-centered” change and interaction. Like web 2.0, a full featured library 2.0 OPAC gets better the more that users are involved in the process of interacting with the catalogue and sharing content. 

Web 2.0 technology offers local studies librarians the opportunity to expand their collections to new levels of depth and diversity. Online collaborative technologies such as blogs and wikis that facilitate user-generated content can be used to gather local knowledge from the community.  This paper explores the field of local studies librarianship and the participatory web, identifying key themes and concept and concepts involved in creating and managing collaborative online projects.

My local library is Parramatta City Library, about 2m people living in this area. There are different age group. Based on this the library has its own face book, twitter, you-tube, fliker and RSS and email account. The official website of the libraries provide eresources like ebook, eaudio, emagazine, online cataloguing database etc. Parramatta library has a plenty of collection of local studies, Children’s, Youth, adult fiction and information/reference for the better service to the community both in general library service and online service.

Robot

Library workers are replacing by robot in work place. This is an interesting idea. I like to brows shelves through Automated Books Delivery System (ABDS). The librarian won’t be issuing or returning books anymore. They are free to do more important work such reference enquiries and customer service. ABDS is not only creating space but also create peoples time to have do real business. This is a digital system to locate item. In this system people also order as many item as they want.

Virtual brows is also another great idea. It is quick to scrolling through a shelf which is time saver for the people who doesn’t have enough time to visit library physically and go through the shelves. It would be a great option is we look side the whole book what we can normally do on a shelf. Now a days people just flick over the page and find the piece of information. This digital ways is revolutionary idea in libraries. Digitations is good idea where we can brows item when we sit on any other public transport and order it as many books as we want rather than to visit the library.     

Automated Book Delivery System and Virtual Brows is a great combination of 21^st century.
