摘要：The adoption of Web 2.0 tools in academic libraries in India, the barriers and motivating factor to its use is investigated. The study involved an exploratory survey of the contents of the academic library websites in India. The websites of 28 Central Universities, 16 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and 13 Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) were identified for the study. A structured questionnaire was mailed to library professionals from selected Universities and Institutes in India. The findings suggest that the library professionals are favourably inclined towards the use of Web 2.0 applications in libraries. The major barriers perceived include accessibility of the internet by users, lack of incentives, institutional support, technical support, training, and resources. Personal interest in using technology, proper training and technical support were found to be the major motivating factors.
