OCLC report on Information Format Trends

2004 Information Format Trends

A short update of the 2003 report. Looks at emerging trends including:
Social publishing (blogs)
Micro-content
Person to person exchange
Impact on academics
Contextual searching

Basic premise is that libraries need to pay attention to changing user behaviour, authenticity and provenance, tools for synthesizing knowledge.
