Libraries all over the world are offering various web based services to the users. Because of web and new library technologies it has become very easy to reach patrons and provide them resources at their finger tip where ever they are. When we see western country libraries and Indian Libraries we find that Indian libraries are lagging behind in offering web based services because of various reasons like lack of trained staff to manage these kinds of services, websites are outsourced and lack technologies and tools used behind such services. In this paper, the author tried to show how libraries can make use of new open source educational technologies and tools to train their users with examples.
