David Weinberger presented the concept of a library as a platform. He argued that viewing the library as a platform has advantages by providing a unifying framework, taking social networks seriously, and increasing the value of the library. As a platform, the library accumulates value by enabling unpredictable uses and providing resources that let others create and flourish. The library should think outward by embracing both analog and digital resources, opening everything, using open standards, and enabling difference for every user everywhere.
