INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION
The survey is a recognized and accepted part of the modern society. It is one of the means
by which society keeps it informed, away of bringing under central situations of
increasing size and complexity of obtaining perceptive and standard of comparison. A
survey gives an oversight of a field and is thus distinguishing from a sort of study which
consists of a microscopic examination of a turf; it is a map rather than a detailed plan.
The survey must be planned before a start is made.

1.2 PURPOSE OF THE LITERATURE SURVEY

The literature review plays a very important role in the research process. It is a source
from where research ideas are drawn and developed into concepts and finally theories. It
also provides the researcher a birds eye view about the research done in that area so far.

where his/her research stands. Here in this literature survey, all primary, secondary and
tertiary sources of information were searched.

1. Aitta, M. R., Kaleva, S. and Kortelainen, T. Heuristic evaluation applied to
library web services. New Library World 109.1/2 (2008): 25-45.
Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to present usability heuristics for the evaluation of
public library web services. The applied heuristics are divided into three categories:
heuristics critical from the usability viewpoint; heuristics concerning major problems;
and heuristics connected to minor usability problems but still important and concerning
conventions of web design. The use of the heuristics and the results they give are
evaluated to provide a basis for their use in future.

Management 30.1-2 (2009): 57-68.
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to provide library managers with the ability to
recognize and address World 2.0 information issues to enhance their ability to develop
management plans for the future. This paper explores what World 2.0 means to library
managers in three ways. Three information dimensions are identified using models to
examine World 2.0 in a historical context. An analysis is conducted of the different
generations of users in World 2.0 including their diverse attitudes, beliefs, experiences
and skills and how these influence their engagement with the information environment.
Four key characteristics of Web 2.0 are identified through an analysis of Web 2.0 in
relation to World 2.0. Key findings in this paper are that: three dimensions of information
in World 2.0 exist and can be used by library managers to help them understand the
challenges and to facilitate the construction of strategic management plans that address
them. Generational and organizational perspectives of World 2.0 can influence how
libraries engage Web 2.0, and should be considered when library managers make -
