ibiblio.org is the Public's Library and Digital Archive

http://ibiblio.org/images/oct2006/oct2006banner.jpg

About ibiblio.org

What I said in 1992

Archives look for interesting collections; we look for interesting people creating interesting collections in interesting ways. We collect the collectors and empower them.

What I said in 2001

Open (source)ing the doors for contributor-run digital libraries Communications of the ACM. Volume 44, Issue 5 (May 2001). Pages: 45 - 46.

By adopting not only the open-source tools, but also the open-source philosophy encouraging community interaction and contributor involvement, digital libraries can open new horizons to new communities as well as greatly improve traditional services.


Five Big Ideas

  2. Democratizing Innovation (Find it in a library) or Download of FREE in English or Chinese
  3. Wealth of Networks (Find it in a library) or Download for FREE or Select from various Remixes or Annotate and Extend the Book
