The Effect of Social Software on Academic Libraries
Abstract
This chapter presents the results of a survey of Dutch and Italian academic libraries conducted to identify how academic libraries deal with the growing adoption of social media for professional purposes, and how they consider this adoption as the only possible way for them to reposition themselves among an audience that is more and more involved with social media. The results, surprisingly, show that although the interest and the need for such an adoption are felt rather strongly, the complete conversion to a library 2.0 is still not in reach. Many respondents, especially in the Dutch context, were interested in the outcome of this study to help them decide which direction they should take.
