• 4 ways forward
The real Web 2.0?

Then: Attention abundant; resources scarce
Then: users built workflow around libraries
Now: library must build services around user workflow
Now: Attention scarce; resources abundant
Discovery happens elsewhere

Integrated user environments
Need to be able to ‘mobilize’ the full library resource where it is needed
Overview• Prelude
• 4 workflows
• 4 sources of metadata about things
• 4 ways forward
1. Professional2. Contributed3. Intentional4. Programmatically promoted
Professional
Contributed
‘Montpellier’ and ‘antigone’
Sofitel Montpellier Antigone
Sofitel Montpelier Antigone on TripAdvisor
Programmatically promoted
Intentional data
“The database of intentions”
John Battelle
“the rich texture of suggestion”
Scale: mobilize creating community around social objects
Expectations: • We look for hints and hooks• Rank, relate, recommend
Make (all types of data) work harder
Overview• Prelude
• 4 workflows
• 4 sources of metadata about things
• 4 ways forward

Scale matters
Scale
• What level is best to achieve impact?– Network– Regional– Institutional
• Get into user workflows– End-user
environments– Syndication
• Aggregate contributed and intentional metadata
Web 2.0 and the library: directions Concentration

For many years, Chinese people cited a proverb: if the wine smells really wonderful, customers will come in spite of the length of the lane.
No Longer; we have to shorten the length of the lane!
