The emerging of the web 2.0 as promotional media is corelating with the development of digital library. The paper aims are (1) to describe the usage of web 2.0 for academic libraries promotion. (2) to describe the information / content of those web 2.0. (3) to describe the promotion activity through web 2.0. This research population is all university libraries in Indonesia, but only 40 university librraries that conduct promotion through web 2.0. The website observation is done between May-July 2013. The research results are (1) the university libraries in Indonesia are use facebook, twitter, and flikr to promote library programs and interaction with users. The web 2.0 consist of information about new book release, user education, general information about library services, and information literacy. (3) some of univerity libraries taking seriously and actively promote their library services, but some of them are don’t use the web 2.0.

Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) are considered one kind of Web 2.0 application; however, they have demonstrated to have the potential to transcend throughout the steps in the Web evolution, from Web 2.0 to Web 4.0. In some cases, RIAs can be leveraged to overcome the challenges in developing other kinds of Web-based applications. In other cases, the challenges in the development of RIAs can be overcome by using additional technologies from the Web technology stack. From this perspective, the new trends in the development of RIAs can be identified by analyzing the steps in the Web evolution. This chapter presents these trends, including cloud-based RIAs development and mashups-rich User Interfaces (UIs) development as two easily visible trends related to Web 2.0. Similarly, semantic RIAs, RMAs (Rich Mobile Applications), and context-aware RIAs are some of the academic proposals related to Web 3.0 and Web 4.0 that are discussed in this chapter.

In this chapter, the author argues that virtual reality (VR) does have a place in e-commerce as a Web 2.0 application. However, VR is not ready to supplant standard e-commerce Web interfaces with a completely immersive VR environment. Rather, VRCommerce must rely on a mixed platform presentation to accommodate diverse levels of usability, technical feasibility, and user trust. The author proposes that e-commerce sites that want to implement VRCommerce offer at least three layers of interaction: a standard Web interface, embedded VR objects in a Web interface, and semi-immersive VR within an existing Web interface. This system is termed the Layered Virtual Reality Commerce System, or LaVRCS. This proposed LaVRCS framework can work in conjunction with Rich Internet Applications, Webtops, and other Web 2.0 applications to offer another avenue of interaction within the e-commerce realm. With adoption and development, LaVRCS will help propel e-commerce into the Web 3.0 realm and beyond.

The current research aims at identifying the effect of different patterns of sharing in the electronic learning environment on developing information awareness and social interaction skills among students of the University of Hail. The research sample consisted of 18 students from the Department of Computer Science at the Community College-University of Hail, who was chosen and distributed randomly on three groups, the researchers designed the participatory e-learning environment model, and in light of the activity theory. The research experiment lasted three weeks. The students of the three groups studied the proposed scientific content through the “Black Board” learning management system, then the students performed an activity participatory implementation of the activities and tasks of the scientific content through the use of a cooperative learning strategy, with a different style of participation, as the first group students participated in the synergistic sharing pattern through the Web 2.0 tool (Twitter), and the second experimental group students with the parallel sharing style through the Web 2.0 tool (Video Sharing), and the students of the third experimental group in the style of sequential sharing through the Web 2.0 tool (Wiki). The results showed the effectiveness of the three types of participation (synergistic-parallel-serial) in developing information awareness and social interaction skills in favor of post-performance. On the other hand, the two modes of participation (synergistic and sequential) were superior to that of (parallel) in the development of cognitive achievement of information awareness. More Attention should be considered in designing and producing digital courses based on participatory learning systems.

This paper investigated application of web 2.0 to private university libraries of northern part ofNigeria based on Mannes theory which emphasizes on changing scenario of librarianship withthe presence of the web, (10) private university libraries website which are of quality and ICTcompliant by Nigerian standard were surveyed to identify the presence of web 2.0 toolapplication and purpose for application. Only (4) 40% had applied web 2.0 tool, the mostapplied web tool was WebOPAC followed by social networking sites, and (1) private universitylibrary had applied RSS, no other web tool have been applied. Even with the web 2.0 boom andadvantages web 2.0 provides to library professional for interaction, the application is still verymuch low in Nigerian libraries. The study recommends Training of library professionals,provision of ICT infrastructure, restructuring of library school curriculum.

This chapter describes how the design tool WebRatio (and its companion conceptual model WebML) have been extended to support the new requirements imposed by rich Internet applications (RIAs), that are recognized to be one of the main innovations that lead to the Web 2.0 revolution. Complex interactions such as drag and drop, dynamic resizing of visual components, graphical editing of objects, and partial page refresh are addressed by the RIA extensions of WebRatio. The chapter discusses what kinds of modelling primitives are required for specifying such patterns and how these primitives can be integrated in a CASE tool. Finally, a real industrial case is presented in which the novel RIA features are successfully applied.

Web 2.0 applications emphasize the end-user involvement to provide the content. In this new scenario, an easy to use and a highly interactive user interface (UI) is a key requirement in order to appeal the end-user. The main objective of this chapter is to introduce a model-driven engineering process to create rich Internet applications (RIA) that address the requirements that a Web 2.0 application must fulfill. To achieve this goal, an interaction model made up of two complementary models is proposed: On the one hand, an abstract interaction model, which clearly defines the interactions between the user and the system and on the other hand, a concrete RIA interaction model that specifies the semantics needed to accurately define RIA for the Web 2.0 domain. Both models are introduced inside a model-driven code generation process with the aim of producing a fully functional Web 2.0 application. To illustrate the contribution of this chapter, the approach is applied in a case study related to the Web 2.0 domain.

Purpose This study aims to explore the awareness status of Web 2.0 tools among library and information science (LIS) professionals in the University Libraries of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Design/methodology/approach The study used quantitative method to collect data from 73 LIS professionals in 18 public sector university libraries of the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Inferential and descriptive statistical techniques were used to analyze data using SPSS. Findings It was observed from the findings that majority of LIS professional s possess good knowledge of MS Office; however, some senior librarians were less acquainted. Internet facility was available to 60 participants out of 66. Librarians were not familiar with many services of Web 2.0; however, Facebook, YouTube and Skype were most familiar among the librarians. Majority of the respondents had no experience of using podcasting, RSS feeds, LinkedIn, LibraryThing, Flickr and MySpace. On the other hand, e-mail services, Facebook and YouTube were founded to be the most commonly used Web 2.0 tools among respondents. Problems faced by majority of the respondents were power failure, lack of training, non-cooperation from higher authorities, low speed of internet and financial problems. Practical implications These research results can be very beneficial for the interested librarians in universities, when they plan to use Web 2.0 applications in their libraries. Originality/value This study presents an overall picture of Web 2.0 applications in university libraries of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and attempts to provide the readers with helpful information to better understand how their colleagues elsewhere are utilizing Web 2.0 tools in execution of library services.

Bibliographical services are services related to the library collection and access to those collections, whether print or online. In modern libraries, these services are provided online through website. Many studies have been carried out to study application of web 2.0 tools and web-based services offered by the libraries. There is need to study the basic fundamental library services offered via the web or websites in modern libraries. In this paper author studied tops world and Indian libraries and prepared inventory of web-based bibliographic services offered by these libraries and analyzed the data in a quantitative way.
