Britannica education future trends Pesce crowdsourcing

  • When the folks at Britannica conducted a forensic analysis of the failure, they learned something shocking: the site had crashed because, within its first hours, it had attracted nearly fifty million visitors.
  • Wikipedia was the modern birth of “crowdsourcing”, the idea that vast numbers of anonymous individuals can labor together (at a distance) on a common project.
  • There’s a new logic operating: the more something is shared, the more valuable it becomes.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • this new library – at least seven million volumes – has become available everywhere. The library has become coextensive with the Internet.
  • What does this mean for the library as we have known it? Has Google suddenly obsolesced the idea of a library as a building stuffed with books?
  • Google seems to have abandoned – or ignored – library science in its own book project.
  • In fact, because the library is universal, library science now needs to be a universal skill set, more broadly taught than at any time previous to this.
  • we are rapidly becoming a data-generating species.
  • In order to have a connection to our data selves of the past, we are all going to need to become library scientists.
