Evans, Woody Building Library 3.0: issues in creating a culture of participation. 025.02 EVA

What is Library 3.0? In this book it's taken to be whatever survives of the library after the web 2.0 revolution. It's the future and so somewhat unpredictable but might incorporate elements of 3D virtual worlds, the semantic web, intelligent search, natural language queries, social networking and mobile web. It will almost certainly involve the breaking down of barriers and some threats to the established role of libraries.
