Abstract

With the changing scenario in information generation, need, availability and dissemination the libraries' perspective is changing very rapidly. In pandemic situation the need and methods are also changed at large scale at ground level. The different meanings of the phrase “Library 2.0” as it is used in discussions on librarianship, and its relationship to Web 2.0; and the potential uses of social software (e.g. blogs, news feeds, social bookmarking) to enhance interaction with library users are discussed in this paper by the authors.
