Overview of applications for computerization of libraries

Abstract

Computerization has long been the support structure for basic information management services offered by libraries. However, the development of Web 2.0 tools in recent years, at the same time as the semantic web or the emergence of open & linked data, makes it necessary to reconsider both the model andthe technical architecture of the new tools as they appear. The model of computerization of libraries prevailing in past decades has been overcome, and it is imperative to define the framework and key elements of a new generation of applications.
