This presentation will introduce the Read/Write Library Chicago
<http://lita.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b211fe88d0ff1155e320fde9d&id=ec31083396&e=69aeee3fdf>,
a new model for libraries that exists to illuminate and create
connections between people, materials, and institutions in the city of
Chicago. Participants will learn about new trends and features in social
reading and cataloging, social library catalogs and integrated library
systems, and crowdsourcing platforms. The catalog builds a social
network, and the social network in turn builds the catalog. We love the
read/write internet. It's time to create the read/write library, where
everyone has a voice in the collections, catalog, programming, and
mission. This model is extensible to more conventional libraries through
a multitude of tools and approaches that are already widely used.
