Exercise 10: Evaluation - Hornsby Shire Council Libraries


Web 2.0 technologies refer to the applications and/or web sites that allow people to socially connect online, through creating, viewing and the sharing of media files and information. Due to this more efficient and convenient method of sharing and viewing information online, Hornsby Shire Council Libraries for instance, already offers many aspects from Web 2.0 of its functions in their services.
Local Studies

          Shared online archives that include: annual reports, newsletters, minutes and letters updated constantly by local organizations.  such as schools, sporting clubs and community associations.
Children’s
·          E-books on research topics
Teenage/Youth
·          Offers a link to an interactive site completely dedicated to youths. The site is called YHQ.
The site includes access to Web 2.0 features such as:
-Flickr photos
-Delicious.com (an online social bookmarking site that offers its users with sharing, discovering and storing of different information
 and media files)
-Newsfeed RSS (Allowing the sharing and viewing of events, news and information)
-Within the YHQ site, there is also a section for review and there is also a shared forum included, that also allows the posting of
 comments anonymously. This allows viewers to share their opinions with others on the same site.
Adult Fiction
·          In the “online fiction” service at Hornsby Library, there are review and story sites made especially for fiction readers and writers
 who would like to offer their story works to share with others. These interactive Web 2.0 sites include FictionPress.com,
Webook.com, FanFiction.net.
