Un exemple de service innovant qui se nomme Open WorldCat, lancé par OCLC
L’idée étant de permettre aux usagers de donner leur avis sur les ouvrages qu’ils empruntent ou consultent.
En substance pour les anglophones à partir de l’excellent site WebJunction:
"Most library catalogs only contain the most basic information on books. They have the elements that go into a MARC record: title, subject(s), author, year published, etc. When patrons go into an online catalog, they probably won’t know if what they’ve found is the sort of book they’re looking for until they pull it off the shelf. When users go onto Amazon.com, they will find a book synopsis, cover art, and reviews from people who have already read the book. This extra content helps people to get a better sense of whether the book will meet their needs. Why can’t we do that same at libraries? Adding wiki functionality to the catalog would allow users to post synopses and reviews for books they’ve already read. We can capitalize on the reading experiences of our patrons in order to help them make informed reading decisions from the library catalog. Right now, OCLC is working on putting wiki functionality into Open WorldCat , so that people can add reviews to book entries. The results of this test case will give us some idea about the power of allowing users to annotate the catalog. "
