Abstract

The emergence of online collaborative learning and knowledge sharing is pervasive. Social media tools became a trend that libraries have to adapt to maintain user interaction. The study determines the technical competencies of agricultural librarians in the Philippines. It defines the social media literacy level of agricultural librarians in the country. This chapter is a derivative work on the acquired knowledge, perceptions and attitudes of medical and health librarians towards Library 2.0 in the Philippines. A former study on the level of awareness and gaps among medical and health librarians in the use, creation, and adaptation of Web 2.0 tools specifically in the Philippines were already confirmed in the past. This study established that agricultural librarians are highly experienced in certain competencies such as creating content and interacting with users while others have reached expert level in most of the competencies.
