This presentation was made to the British Library Board Awayday on 22-24 September. as part of a discussion on their vision for 2020 The board are mostly not technical and many are not familiar with scientific research practice. The speakers before me were Kate Worlock and Charlie Leadbeater who had both spoken about the web 2.0 social and collective intelligence aspects of the Web and publishing. Charlie called this commons based production. http://www.bl.uk/ FUTURE OF PUBLISHING / SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION Presentation and discussion led by Kate Worlock.
