Sara's article is a fantastic read for anyone in the publishing and information provision industry. I am particuarly intrigued by the concept of the networked book and how publishers can facilitate this.
Over the next few days I am going to blog a piece I have written for a US-based library journal, Library Trends, on how traditional publishers need to position themselves in the changing media flows of a networked era. It’s a very long article so I’m gonna serialise it and blog it in six ‘bite-sized’ chunks over six days. Here’s the introduction, which aims to set the picture. Scary.

We will need to work out how to position the book at the centre of a network rather than how to distribute it to the end of a chain. We will need to recognise that readers are also writers and opinion formers and that those operate online within and across networks. We will need to understand that parts of books reference parts of other books and that now the network of meaning can be woven together digitally in a very real way, between content published and hosted by entirely separate entities.

Publishers have an opportunity to facilitate the networked book.
