Dijital Yerliler, Sosyal Ağlar ve Kütüphanelerin Geleceği

Facebook, MySpace, Flickr ve YouTube gibi Web 2.0 özelliklerine sahip sosyal ağlar en çok ziyaret edilen web siteleri arasında yer almaktadır. Sosyal ağlar sadece sosyalleşmek ve eğlenmek amacıyla değil, bilgiye erişmek, öğrenmek ve profesyonel iş yapmak amacıyla da kullanılmaktadır. Sosyal ağların sağladığı işbirliği, kişiselleştirme, kullanıcı destekli içerik ekleme ve üst veri gibi özellikler kullanıcı deneyimini zenginleştirmekte ve bu web sitelerini daha çekici kılmaktadır. Kütüphanelerin de sosyal ağlar kadar erişilebilir, esnek, işbirliği ve paylaşıma açık olmasını bekleyen kullanıcılar, yoğun olarak kullandıkları sosyal ağlar aracılığıyla kütüphanelere de erişmek istemektedirler. Kütüphanelerin geleceği dijital kullanıcıların bilgi gereksinimlerini başarılı bir biçimde sağlamalarıyla yakından ilgilidir. Aksi takdirde Web, Google ve Facebook ile yetişen “ağ kuşağı” ya da “dijital yerliler” kütüphaneleri modası geçmiş kuruluşlar olarak görecek ve bilgi gereksinimlerini karşılamak için başka kuruluşlara ya da ortamlara yöneleceklerdir. Bu çalışmada Web 2.0 gibi bazı yeni teknolojilerin ve teknolojik yakınsamanın kullanıcılar ve kütüphaneler üzerindeki etkileri İncelenmekte, dijital çağda bilgi profesyonellerinin karşı karşıya kaldığı yeni meydan okumalar ve fırsatlar tartışılmaktadır.
