Abstract: This is the second part of a series on Web 2.0 tools available from community college libraries' Websites. The first article appeared in an earlier volume of this journal and it illustrated the wide variety of Web 2.0 tools on community college libraries' Websites serving large student bodies (Blummer and Kenton 2014). The research found many of these tools, especially LibGuides and YouTube videos, contained instructional content. This research focuses on the use of Web 2.0 tools to deliver library training to users in community colleges with large student bodies. The study considers the diversity of Web 2.0 tools utilized for instructional purposes. It also examines the relationship between the population ranking of the community college and the availability of these tutorials.
