Exercise 10 2.0 Technologies, Ultimo Library

Ultimo Library uses little web 2.0 technologies. They are a part the City of Sydney Libraries who all use similar style city council websites, that are very basic and give general information. The services they do offer are mainly email and to notify clients when books have arrived and are overdue. The lack of web 2.0. technologies is understandable as the library is: a) very small compared to its partner branches in Sydney b) lacks substantial I.C.T. facilities and c) own a small collection compared to other City of Sydney branches, therefore not needing constant updating. However, using the City of Sydney catalogue members can browse staff picks and write their own reviews on books and items they have read and/or borrowed.
