Journal Title: SRELS Journal of Information Management - Year 2018, Vol 55, Issue 4
Abstract
The web has transformed the ways in which people search, find, use and communicate information. Web 2.0 technologies have become the subject of interest as they facilitate interactive information sharing, interoperability, dynamic content, openness, and user participation. This paper assesses the need for developing Information Literacy skills with the help of web 2.0 technologies in four engineering institutions coming under Moulana Abul Kalam Institute of Technology (MAKAUT). A questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. The paper concludes that the concept of information literacy using web 2.0 technologies in the technical institute of MAKAUT is in a developing stage.
