Ubiquitous Librarying, Tokyo, Japan, 2003
Ubiquitous librarying is not a collection of books; it is a digital networking device. This ubiquitous librarying device (ULD) functions as a nano-information-organ. It can be carried by different users and plugged into the digital library network from various access points such as CPU, cyber cafe, kiosk, 7-11, or the user’s own mobile devices. All of these access points become part of ubiquitous librarying, being only dependent upon the digital information process and its accessibility, not the book. It is this information process that creates ubiquitous librarying, not the physical location, or architectural mass.
