The document discusses how libraries and scholarship are changing in a digital world of abundance rather than scarcity. It covers four key areas: ubiquitous computing, the social academic, research data, and free and open versus secret science. The author argues that libraries must adapt to this new environment by embracing new technologies, facilitating social and open sharing of knowledge, helping with research data management, and promoting open access over secret science.
