Seth Godin over de toekomst van de bibliotheek

Seth Godin geeft in dit blogbericht zijn eigen(zinnige) visie op de geschiedenis en de toekomst van bib en bibliothecaris.

Enkele interessante standpunten van Godin:

* The library is no longer a warehouse for dead books.

 * When kids go to the mall instead of the library, it's not that the mall won, it's that the library lost.

* The next library is a place, still. A place where people come together to do co-working and coordinate and invent projects worth working on together. Aided by a librarian who understands the Mesh, a librarian who can bring domain knowledge and people knowledge and access to information to bear.

* The next library is filled with so many web terminals there's always at least one empty.

* Take the world of data, combine it with the people in this community and create value.
