Participatory Library: The Study of a New Modern Library Development Mode

Abstract

Abstract:

This paper discusses the evolving relationship between libraries and users, and focuses on
five changes, such as the change from information users to information creators/providers, the changing
role of users towards that of librarians, and the reinforced user-centered service model. It then analyses
the inevitable emergence of participatory library from the perspectives of library 2.0, the nature of library
model and contemporary library focuses. It also calls attention to the issues to be addressed in the process
of developing participatory libraries.

Key words: Participatory library, Library 2.0, Social discovery tool, Participatory technology, Library user
