Digital footprints
Alistair Croll: "Implications and Opportunities of Big Data” OCLC Symposium, ALA Midwinter Seattle 2013
@acroll
“The big data movement is fundamentally about taking large amounts of data that are often spread across many sources in many different formats and making it possible to explore them quickly and easily.” “Big data doesn't have to be all that big. Just more than you can go through by hand.”
The world at Webscale
Trends impacting every library
• Technology
– Hardware

The Inside Out Library
OUTSIDE IN • Resources are scarce and attention
is abundant • Local scale • User’s workflow built around library
services • Towards a centered network
presence
• Locally assemble externally acquired colls
• Discovery happens in the library
• Expertise hidden
• Configure space around collections
INSIDE OUT • Resources are abundant and
attention is scarce • Network scale • Library services are built around the
user’s workflow • Towards a decentered network
presence
• Engage with creation, management, use and sharing of all information resources
• Discovery happens elsewhere
• Expertise visible
• Configure space around engagement
