first of all, we should know to whom we are going to provide library services and level of the users eg. scientists, faculty member etc etc.
Secondly, Most of the person are not fully aware and interested in such type of social sites as facebook and twitter etc. however they are in important post in their organisation.
Thirdly,i think this type of social sites only enhance your social circles for expresssing your ideas.
Above are the major hindrance for providing library services through facebook and twitter.
I am toatly agree with Mr. Pandey. It is realty those person who use regularly these social sites , they also don't know the negatve effect of these social sites. So if we are user of these social sites, we should take some precautions.
This is ICT based era, and LIS profession is most challenging profession, users of this era are very updated and using ICT based products and services. So we have to cope with this challenges of high tech users. The Facebook and Twitter is the applications of Web 2.0, when we used all these applications for LIS its became Lib. 2.0. the library 2.0 invented the much interaction of users and library. For the over all development of library, users interactions must be there.


Following can be the users' advantages of Facebook and Twitter.

•Chat referencing/ instant messaging between users and library staff.
.Up-to-date and innovative information.
•Quick communication.
. Multimedia data can be provide to user and can get feedback.
•CAS can be provide in effective way.
•User feedback is very useful for library.
•Library 2.0 could be maintained by single
persons who have technical knowledge
about web technology.

Although there are so many advantages of lib.2.0 applications, but there are some challenges also:


• Understanding the technologies
• Understanding our younger and our more
progressive users
• Accepting and participating in change but
not change for change’s sake, etc.
