At the end of December the Chaos Communication Congress (CCC) took place for the 32th time\u2014this time again in Hamburg. The Chaos Computer Club calls it the \u201e<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>annual four-day conference on technology, society and utopia\u201c<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/span>12.000 hackers and computer experts came together to take part in about 130 lectures and workshops (see the recordings on <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>https:\/\/media.ccc.de\/c\/32c3<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span>, many in English). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So what? What are the connections to public libraries? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately there are not many\u2014although libraries have widely open access policies, many digital resources, provide makerspaces, and even lend hardware such as Arduino<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>, MaKey MaKey Kits<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>, and wifi hotspots<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There was a presentation by Marcell Mars<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> with the title \u201ePublic Library\/Memory of the World. <\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Access to knowledge for every member of society\u201c<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. I was surprised that public libraries found their way to the programme of the CCC. But no, wait a moment: it is a presentation on Marcell Mars’ own shadow e-book-library. He just takes the notion of Public Library as the \u201cuniversal space of free exchange of all knowledge\u201d and turns himself and his friends into librarians. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMars\u2019s project has taken this broad consensus [on public libraries] as the basis for Public Library and on-line book sharing project which promulgates the utopian \u2028hacker ethic of the universal space of free exchange of all knowledge by \u2028seeking to fuse a number of existing internet based projects for either \u2028managing or exchanging electronic publications (such as Calibre) along with\u2028his own plug ins to create a peer 2 peer culture for the exchange of books.\u201d (<\/span><\/span><\/span>http:\/\/new-tactical-research.co.uk\/blog\/1012\/<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span>) <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is nonetheless very interesting to see how a library a hacker invents looks like. The \u201epublic library\u201c is a \u201edistributed internet infrastructure for amateur librarians\u201c sharing their e-book-collections (and very likely not caring about any copyright rules).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So how shall an OPAC look like? On <\/span><\/span><\/span>www.memoryoftheworld.org<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span> you see their approach: mere covers and a direct (!) link stating the format (PDF, EPUB, etc.) to the full text (of course there are search functions as well).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Eine Bibliothek der Hacker: Wovon sie reden, wenn sie von Bibliotheken reden<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Ende Dezember fand der 32. Chaos Communication Congress (CCC) statt \u2013 diesmal wieder in Hamburg. Der Chaos Computer Club bezeichnet den Kongress als die \u201ej\u00e4hrliche viert\u00e4gige Konferenz zu Technologie, Gesellschaft und Utopie\u201c<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span>12.000 Hacker und Computerexperten trafen sich, um an 130 Vortr\u00e4gen und Workshops teilzunehmen (die Aufzeichnungen der Vortr\u00e4ge finden sich auf <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>https:\/\/media.ccc.de\/c\/32c3<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span>). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Was hat das mit \u00d6ffentlichen Bibliotheken zu tun? Worin bestehen die Verbindungen? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Leider gibt es bislang nicht allzu viele \u2013 obwohl Bibliotheken weithin Open Access Policies haben, eine Vielzahl an digitalen Ressourcen, Makerspaces besitzen und sogar Hardware ausleihen wie z. B. Arduino<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span> MaKey MaKey Kits<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>und WLAN-Hotspots<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aber es gab einen Vortrag von Marcell Mars<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> mit dem Titel \u201c\u00d6ffentliche Bibliothek \/ Ged\u00e4chtnis der Welt. Der Zugang zu Wissen f\u00fcr jedes Mitglied der Gesellschaft\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>. Ich war \u00fcberrascht, dass \u00d6ffentliche Bibliotheken ihren Weg ins Programm des CCC gefunden hatten. Aber nein, Moment mal: Es handelt sich um einen Vortrag zu Marcell Mars’ eigener Schatten-E-Book-Bibliothek. Er \u00fcbernimmt nur das Konzept der \u00d6ffentlichen Bibliothek als \u201euniverseller Ort des freien Austauschs von Wissen\u201d und macht sich selbst und seine Freundinnen und Freunde zu Bibliothekar_innen. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201eMars’ Projekt nimmt den breiten Konsens zu \u00d6ffentlichen Bibliotheken als Basis seines ‘Public Library’-Projekts, des Projekts des Online-B\u00fcchertauschs. Er verk\u00fcndigt die utopische Hacker-Ethik des universalen Ortes f\u00fcr den freien Austausch allen Wissens, indem er eine Anzahl bereits bestehender internetbasierter Projekte zur Verwaltung oder zum Austausch elektronischer Publikationen (wie Calibre) mit einem eigenen Plug-in verkn\u00fcpft, um eine Peer-to-Peer-Kultur des Austauschs von B\u00fcchern zu schaffen.\u201c<\/span><\/span><\/span> (<\/span><\/span><\/span>http:\/\/new-tactical-research.co.uk\/blog\/1012\/<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span>) <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nichtsdestotrotz ist es sehr interessant sich anzuschauen, wie eine Bibliothek aussieht, die ein Hacker erschafft. Die \u201ePublic Library\u201c ist eine \u201everteilte Internet-Infrastruktur f\u00fcr Amateur-Bibliothekar_innen\u201c, die ihre E-Book-Sammlungen tauschen wollen (und sich wahrscheinlich nicht besonders um irgendwelche urheberrechtlichen Regeln scheren). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Wie sollte ein OPAC also aussehen? Auf <\/span><\/span><\/span>www.memoryoftheworld.org<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span> ist der Hacker-OPAC zu sehen: blo\u00dfe Cover und ein direkter (!) Link, mit Hinweis auf das Format (PDF, EPUB, etc.), zum Volltext (nat\u00fcrlich gibt es dar\u00fcber hinaus auch Suchfunktionen).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
