A revolutionary new economic theory says that the digital future is one of abundance—when the bottlenecks that stand between supply and demand disappear and everything becomes available to everyone. How will libraries fit in?
In an October 2004 story, Wired Magazine Editor Chris Anderson introduced a new trend he called ‘The Long Tail’ and explained how this new economic model based on digital technology was changing our world. Nine months later, the trend has a devoted and growing following, and Anderson has a lucrative book contract for a more in-depth treatment of The Long Tail.
In May, seven librarians from developing countries
arrived at OCLC to learn about U.S. libraries as part of the IFLA/OCLC Fellowship Program. They returned to their countries a month later ready to deliver a richer library experience for people at home.
