Common Libraries' National Library Science Experiment Concludes | P2P Foundation

Common Libraries' National Library Science Experiment Concludes | P2P Foundation | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

The Common Libraries initiative was established to ‘prototype the library of the future – today’ – to explore, develop and test new ways of working with library users, to support innovation and the evolution of library services, and expand our knowledge or information commons. Accordingly, we conducted a ‘National Library Science Experiment’ and supported x5 ‘Hack the Library’ days to better understand the potential for Common Libraries to enhance the appeal, resilience and sustainability of libraries in future, before presenting our work at two national events for further discussion, with funding from Arts Council England. Today, we’re delighted to publish the findings from our recent activities working with library authorities around the country.

P2P Foundation » Blog Archive » The Peer Production License: A case in point from the Circus and Flow Arts | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

My friend Ronan McLoughlin was member 951 of home of poi back in 2003, a website dedicated to the global renaissance of the traditionally Maori art of swinging poi . Back then the ‘jedi’ move, the most difficult move that existed, was the ‘behind the back weave’. Today there are over 150,000 members of this website today, and in true networked learning tradition the art has complexified becoming a complex physico-structural kinetic artform of geometric shapes, translations, and spacio-temporal pattern. As the artform and community developed together a global supracultural community of practice emerged with festivals, learning events, shops, tour routes and key seasonal places around the world, as well as spin offs in jewelery, fashion, and so on.

“People centered” means that control of infrastructure, access, distribution, resources, and co-governance are now on the scale of the individual person. When an individual person with this empowerment reaches their individual carrying capacity to operate, they will tend to reach out to others who are operating like them, and a connection-based network will emerge. Economic development here targets individuals operating as self-employed independents who network together. Independents, small businesses, community groups, working together, with government, higher education, and larger business are the new economic driver. The more control people have an on individual scale of infrastructure, access, distribution, resources, and governance, *and* the more connectivity there is between those people, the that more growth happens in “people centered economic development”.

When control of infrastructure, access, distribution, resources, and co-governance are now on the scale of the individual person, a new way of coopertive co-managing of existing resources, and surpluses of production tends to emerge. That new way of co-managing is known as “Resource Sharing”."
