Several web 2.0 tools are useful and can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of library operation. For example, through RSS feeds, we can package and push their content to county residents' preferred places. The data can be customized and offered for a wide variety of parameters, including classification ranges, allowing users to compile and subscribe to the sources they find most useful.
Library services also might be enhanced by the Read/Write web and operate in a climate of collaboration. Our virtual service already uses Instant Messaging to answer customer questions. Building Weblogs and wikis as resources can further the mission of the library, and mashes up content via API (Application Program Interface) to build useful Web sites. We may also use Google map mash up of branch libraries just like Chicago library system did. Librarians may also create MySpace profiles and participate in other thriving communities build connections online where their users live.
However, the master of web 2.0 needs many resources (time, computer tools, training and try and error) many staff lacks. For the benefit of efficiency, we need one dedicated position in the system whose primary responsibility is to be an expert for this tool. He or she should be tasked to develop all web 2.0 related tools in our site and to coordinate various projects with componets of web 2.0 tools and served as resouce person to help other staff to develop and use those tools in their subject area.
