The document discusses the concept of an "Invisible Library" which refers to a collection of books that only appear in other books. It then provides examples of invisible tools in libraries that allow information to flow between networks, such as link resolvers and library catalogues. The document argues that while some invisibility in libraries is useful, libraries should not make their entire collections invisible by giving away rights to commercial third parties.

Editor's Notes
- INVISIBLE THEATRE – To be a citizen does not mean merely to live in society, but to transform it. If I transform the clay into a statue, I become a Sculptor; if I transform the stones into a house, I become an architect; if I transform our society into something better for us all, I become a citizen. INVISIBLE THEATRE is a direct intervention in society, on a precise theme of general interest, to provoke debate and to clarify the problem that must be solved. It shall never be violent since its aim is to reveal the violence that exists in society, and not to reproduce it. INVISIBLE THEATRE is a play (not a mere improvisation) that is played in a public space without informing anyone that it is a piece of theatre, previously rehearsed. INVISIBLE THEATRE is the penetration of fiction into reality and of reality into fiction, which helps us to see how much fiction exists in reality, and how much reality exists in fiction. Augusto Boal, Rio de Janeiro 2004
