When it was proclaimed that the Library contained all books, the first impression was one of extravagant happiness. All men felt themselves to be the masters of an intact and secret treasure. There was no personal or world problem whose eloquent solution did not exist in some hexagon. The universe was justified, the universe suddenly usurped the unlimited dimensions of hope.
other “official futures”
1. past health sciences
research
what happens when that’s all digital?
2. what’s broken open the health sciences
official future?
cheap data has changed our
politics.
cheap data changes how we
justify our opinions.
cheap data transgresses lots of things we expect…
privacy
property
exclusivity
authority.
and can we make cheap less toxic than it has been
to date?
3. an existence proof of
the open window.
Promote OPEN SYSTEMS, INCENTIVES, and NORMS to redefine how complex biological data is GATHERED,
SHARED, AND USED.

libraries as essential partners
4.meet the new boss,
same as the old boss.
store contentorganize content
query content
we’re doing the same thing with library services.
“a group of volunteers connected by a global computer network will build for free and give away an encyclopedia
that displaces Britannica”
“cloud things can be disappeared instantly”
we’re doing the same thing with library services.
that’s bad.
5.we’re the ones who
need to articulate the new official futures.
a. incrementalism.
(this is arguably off the table)
b. the stacks.
c.small but compatibly
communicating groups
but we can’t do it if we have to be dependent on
the stacks.
look to metaphors and models beyond the startup
@McDapper

at stake is who gets to construct meaning.
