  32. Augmented Reality Potential for libraries • Highlighting things on the shelves as well as linking to related e-resources • Library tour information: for users who want to know what they can do at a desk once it’s closed or if they don’t want to ask if they’re not sure • Information literacy tutorials at the location where they might be needed (for example, using call numbers, or how to select the most useful article in the current periodicals room) Links the physical library with the virtual library (databases etc)

  33. Liquid Library • Kevin Kelly, the founding executive editor of Wired wrote an essay called “Scan This Book!” in which he foresaw the coming of a “Liquid Library.”The idea of the Liquid Library is that one day we’ll reach a point where not only have all books been digitized, but that digital knowledge will be totally integrated with all the commentary that exists. • And then that library would also be integrated with reality—the example he gives is that you could stand in Trafalgar Square and access everything that has ever been written about Trafalgar Square.
