Regarding the discussion of noisy libraries, I just want to point out that
cybernetics treats "noise" as information rather than interference.

Not if you're accessing the cyber-library from a desk at a bricked library.

Aren't we tilting at windmills here?

Yes, am most interested, especially w.r.t. how you
would implement interactivity and contributor
participation.
Thanks, happy to have misread,

WHERE IS THE DIGITAL LIBRARY?
<http://www.cren.net/know/techtalk/events/digi-lib.html>http://www.cren.net/know/techtalk/events/digi-lib.>html
What is a digital library? How do they connect with libraries as we know
them? What will we be able to do with a digital library? When do we get rid
of paper versions of books and journals? Who preserves digital material,
and how? What about e-books? Why did the government decide to fund the DLI
initiative? What are its goals? What has been accomplished? What is the
next generation of digital libraries? What kind of research is going on? Do
we have enough bandwidth, storage, processing power, etc. to move ahead
with all the DLI 2 initiatives?
How can a university or an individual take advantage of what's already been
done with digital libraries? How can a university participate in the
various initiatives?
Plan now to send in your questions to expert@cren.net and join Howard and
Judith on Thursday, September 28 at 4:00 pm Eastern time as they explore,
with guest expert Clifford Lynch of CNI, the area of cyberspace known as
the digital library.
