The school library is challenged to remain relevant in the 21st century learning environment. With young learners always consulting Google and other free search engines for subject assignment and other information needs and with the underwhelming quality of much web-based information, the school library must find an interesting and effective way to deliver authoritative and relevant information services through online tools. However, effective information services online are most often hosted from subscribed or paid Web 2.0 sites. These online services are capable of interactivity among learners and flexibility for individual schools’ administrative concerns. However, the ability to afford these services is frequently beyond the financial capability of schools from developing countries. The researcher explored the possibility of creating a school library website that serves as a pathfinder to online resources and electronically delivers other library-based school services using free Web 2.0 tools.

Digital World

Literature for children and young people is taking advantage of the dynamics offered by digital world. Web tools and social media are now powerful resources to promote reading and children's literature among the new generations. These tools, due to its interactivity, open the door to new readers that find a new appeal when interacting with literature through these tools. Taking into account this context, school libraries cannot stay apart from the possibilities that these resources can offer for reading promotion. So, in Portuguese school libraries several projects are being developed, based on the dynamics that web 2.0 tools offer. In this paper we present some results of a project developed under a master's degree in School Libraries, at the Portuguese Open University. The results of these studies show a diversity of strategies that are followed by school libraries, trying to involve various actors (teachers, students, parents), thus contributing to the development of reading skills, with positive effects on motivation, reading and writing interests and competences.

The Web

Until the beginning of the 21st century, the web was mostly a place to retrieve information. Then, around 2004, the web 2.0 new tools allowed common people, with no programming skills, to add content to the web, full of interactivity. Schools started using web 2.0 in order to reach out and engage with generation Y. Today web 2.0 technologies are transforming the ways in which school libraries operate and deliver their services in this fast changing online social and collaborative world. We believe that web 2.0 tools will help us to provide authentic learning experiences for students, encouraging creativity, innovation, critical thinking and collaboration, promoting the information literacy skills that are required in the 21st century, in order to have a positive impact on student’s achievement.

Factors Influencing

Purpose This research paper aims to explore the technological, individual and community factors influencing the use of popular Web 2.0 tools in library and information science (LIS) education to prepare LIS students for Library 2.0. The study was guided by the activity theory (AT) and technology acceptance model (TAM) of Davis as a lens. The study reveals a set of factors concerning the technical tools, subjective perceptions, goals of online discussion, social presence within a community, rules for participation and roles of the participants that affect their online engagement patterns. Design/methodology/approach This study was performed during the 2015 academic year; it used a descriptive analytical research approach for exploring and analysing technological, individual and community factors influencing the use of the popular Web 2.0 tools in LIS education. Findings The results show that at the technological level of the AT, educators in the sample found the WhatsApp instant messaging and Twitter to be the easiest tools to use, selecting those tools at, respectively, 73.2 per cent (standard deviation = 0.450) and 61.1 per cent (standard deviation = 0.490). WhatsApp and Twitter also lead at the individual level of the AT, as the most valuable platforms for sharing information and knowledge. Video, text and photo objects are the most commonly shared items, used by 90.7, 93.5 and 98.9 per cent, respectively. Originality/value This study may be useful to help information science educators to prepare graduates for the emerging Web 2.0 environments and to prepare students for Library 2.0.
