Libraries and book publishers coevolved during the period of information
scarcity, and developed cultural traits that are affecting
their strategies in the new era of content abundance. Both industries
are under threat. The author examines the interdependencies, the
similarities, and the different agendas of the two cultures; explores
likely speciation within the new ecosystems; and frames reasons for
both optimism and concern for the near future.
