  • 162. Conclusion Libraries currently find themselves in an environment where the focus is on collaboration, participation, interaction, connection, transparency and real-time delivery of information. At the same time libraries are faced with economic constraints, because of the economic downturn. Web 2.0 tools can address these issues. Library clients on the other hand are increasingly using web 2.0 tools to socialize, work, play, interact, network, search for and share information, and to do research etc. We cannot wait for clients to come to the library anymore! Lets take the library to them by utilising the different Web 2.0 Tools. 2.0
