Interesting futuristic article on digitizing the bookstore in
Publishing Perspectives:
http://publishingperspectives.com/2012/05/qr-codes-nfc-chips-and-new-paths-to-book-discovery/
The thesis is that not only books but bookstores as well can be
digitized and "placed" anywhere. The author's focus is on QR codes,
which may be a passing technology (I don't know), but the general
point has a truthful ring to it.
I note that I recently saw an announcement for Facebook apps for
library OPACs. Libraries everywhere? It's a compelling vision.
If anyone has information about the syndication of OPACs (e.g., to
Facebook, LinkedIn, wherever), I would like to hear about it, whether
online or off.
