Trotz des Titels Bibliotheken im Web 2.0 Zeitalter geht Kaiser nur am Rande darauf ein, in welcher Rolle sich Bibliotheken zum derzeitigen Zeitpunkt tatsächlich befinden, auf welche Herausforderungen sie reagieren müssen, und warum es deshalb hilfreich oder gar notwendig ist, Web 2.0-Konzepte zu übernehmen und umzusetzen. Auch die erwarteten oder potenziellen Wirkungen werden leider nur sehr sparsam oder gar nicht angesprochen. Vielmehr entsteht der Eindruck, dass es sich bei "Web 2.0" um ein post factum handelt, das einfach übernommen werden muss. Auch bei der Besprechung der einzelnen Web 2.0-Medien wird die Frage nach dem Warum nie gestellt; dass die Einrichtung eines Blogs oder eines Wikis nicht die Lösung aller Probleme darstellt, sondern im Gegenteil nur sehr spezifische Wirkungen hat, wird nicht thematisiert; ebenso wenig wird nicht darauf eingegangen, welche neuen Probleme möglicherweise durch den Einsatz dieser Technologien geschaffen werden. Für mich ist das Grundproblem dieses Buches, dass Kaiser zwar sehr ausführlich auf die Bedürfnisse jener Bibliotheken eingeht, die noch keine Erfahrungen bei der technischen Umsetzung dieser Technologien haben, aber gleichzeitig beim Großteil seiner Leserinnen umfangreiche theoretische Grundkenntnisse über eben diese Technologien vorauszusetzen scheint. Das Buch wirkt daher ein wenig so, als ob ihm eine Hälfte fehlen würde, und es fehlt eben jene Hälfte, die die Relevanz und die Wirkungspotenziale dieser Technologien für Bibliotheken enthalten sollte. Eventuell wäre ein Titel wie "Web 2.0-Technologien für Bibliotheken" zutreffender und hilfreicher gewesen, um nicht einen falschen Eindruck zu erwecken. Bibliotheken, die über Relevanz und Wirkungspotenziale bereits nachgedacht haben und den Schluss gezogen haben, dass der Einsatz dieser Technologien vorteilhaft ist, finden darin nämlich durchaus brauchbare und praxisrelevante Informationen."

Abstract

According to Paul Levinson, it would be improper to portray information technology as the cause of change in our world. However, Levinson clarifies that its role in enabling change can hardly be overestimated. He also points out--through riveting examples--that inventions have unintended consequences and uses. Why is it, for example, that the move from polytheism to monotheism failed when attempted by the pharaoh Ikhnaton, yet took solid root among the Hebrews who were taken out of Egypt by Moses only about 150 years later? Levinson argues that communication technology played a key role: The awkward Egyptian hieroglyphics failed to carry the ideology as well as the Hebrew alphabetic system. From there, Levinson examines the early social changes that became possible because of what the author calls "the first digital medium"--the alphabet. He considers how the Reformation, economic and political movements, and the scientific revolution were largely enabled by the printing press. He then discusses the influence of photographic communications and electronic technology such as the telegraph, the telephone, and broadcasting. Levinson devotes the second half of the book to our present digital revolution, from word processing to the Internet and beyond. One of his key points is that new technology doesn't necessarily displace the old so much as it expands it. Therefore, he doesn't see any end to using paper anytime soon. However, he sees great need for changes in the way we view creative rights. He proposes what he calls an"electronic watermark" for intellectual property--a universal patent number that will be embedded in intellectual property and will notify users in any medium of the property's creators. Levinson puts forth his ideas in a manner that is both formal and engaging. He has a knack for making his reader feel intelligent and respected--and never more so than when he looks at issues of ethics and a speculative future.

Footnote

The major strength of Theorizing Digital Cultural Heritage: A Critical Discourse is the balance of theory and practice achieved by its authors through the inclusion of discussion on digital culture exhibits and programs. By describing the work being done at diverse cultural institutions life is given to theoretical discussions. By relating theory to practice, the work becomes accessible to a broader range of readers. Further, these essays provide many examples of how libraries and museums could partner with each other in the realm of digital culture. The field of museum studies is dealing with the same issues as information and library science with regards to data organization, user behavior, object classification, and documentation schemas. Also, the emphasis on the users of digital cultural heritage and how individuals make meaningful connections with art, history, and geography is another asset of the book. Each chapter is well researched resulting in helpful and extensive bibliographies on various aspects of digital culture. Overall, the work is rich in discussion, description and illustrative examples that cover the subject of digital cultural heritage in terms of depth and breadth. The primary weakness of the title is on the focus on museum studies in the discourse on digital cultural heritage. There is much to be shared and discovered across other cultural institutions such as libraries and local historical societies and a more interdisciplinary approach to the essays included would have captured this. The overwhelming emphasis on museums, unfortunately, may cause some researching and studying digital cultural heritage from another perspective to overlook this work; thereby further dividing the efforts and communication of knowledge in this area. This work is highly recommended for collections on museum studies, cultural heritage, art history and documentation, library and information science, and archival science. This work would be most useful to educators and researchers interested in a theoretical understanding of cultural institutions and user interactions in view of the social and political impact of the evolving digital state of cultural heritage rather than in the specific technologies and specific user studies on the digital cultural heritage. Theorizing Digital Cultural Heritage is an insightful work that will encourage further discourse and research."
