Everyone, everywhere, everything : then, now and the future / Gill Hamilton, National Library of Scotland

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. https://www.lecourrierderussie.com/opinions/2018/01/administration-entree-labyrinthe/
  2. So that’s on end of the resource discovery spectrum, those of us who prepare the data, but at the other end of the spectrum are our users
  3. Our users are like cataloguers dealing with huge amounts of data and information too. Extraordinary access compared to the beginning of my career when you basically had to go inside the Library and truly you only had access to what was there. Everything else was via inter library loan or convincing the subject librarian to do a very expensieve online search. Now information is everywhere and right here in our users hands on their mobile phones. Truly we’re coming to a place where everyone can access everything anywhere and everywhere. And no doubt our users are grateful for the careful curation and description that we do as cataloguers and librarians. But we know that their information landscape is wider than the collections of the Library. They may search the catalogues of their local university library, and perhaps next attempt to search the catalogue of the French National Library on a similar topic, then look at the blog of a fellow researcher in her field, then check to see if her bus is delayed, and what the weather is going to be when she realises she’ll have to walk home. A research my be interested in the carefully curated collection of the BnF too, and that the blog of her research colleague over at that Uni, and what the when the train is going home, and the latest kitten image from her facebook feed. They have extraordinary access to information, and they have to look in many places to do that
