Library market and demand• Fragmentation of the content• Segmented demand of stories, knowledge and media• Growth of the audiovisual culture • Exponential growth of the digital multicultural content• Scalable media, new distribution formats• Library as cybernetics based automaton; from hand-made to automated processes; • Public private funded projects; library as facilitator and aggregator• Funding of projects and revenue sharing based on demand and usage analytics and user

statistics • Building library ecosystem requires business management • How the role of the present library role as loaner, information service, educator• Is changing towards to new role as communication and meeting place, knowledge creator,

crowdsourcing arena
