Abstract

This paper discusses and highlights the ongoing journey at the University of Newcastle Library in the use of emerging Web 2.0 technologies. The University of Newcastle Library staff have "looked ahead" and identified new exciting ways of delivering Library Information and services to assist clients, in person, or online. Specific initiatives were developed which supported the goal of using emerging Web 2.0 technologies to facilitate user collaboration to resource sharing and effective use of the Library website.
