På metadataområdet sker en kraftig utveckling som en naturlig följd av samhällets och mediernas digitalisering. Med äldre beskrivningsmetoder förmår vi inte hantera det ökade medieinflödet, och inte heller möta dagens mer komplexa användarbehov. Man kan beskriva det som ett paradigmskifte, ett "metadataskifte", en förflyttning där vi i allt högre grad återanvänder metadata från producenter av insamlat material, samt utvecklar nya automatiserade metadataflöden med hjälp av till exempel artificiell intelligens (AI). Skiftet handlar också om att öppna upp bibliotekskatalogen, att göra bibliotekens data mer tillgängliga för omvärlden och därmed öka möjligheterna till samarbete mellan kunskaps- och kulturinstitutioner, med förlag och andra aktörer som t.ex. Wikimedia.
Thanks to the laborious stewardship of the blessed Internet Archive and the unyielding armies of Wikipedia’s citizen scholars, we may, within our lifetimes, reach a consensus on basic historical information.
Director of Israel’s National Library Oren Weinberg said that because of the internet, scientific information has to compete with digital inaccuracies, and it is the responsibility of librarians to make Wikipedia as reliable as possible.
“The fact that hundreds of millions of surfers around the world rely on, study and use Wikipedia requires us — as those who have access to information and sources — to help make it a deep, serious and reliable source of knowledge,” he stated.
" In 2020, the Wikimedia Foundation is launching the fifth edition of One Librarian One Reference (#1Lib1Ref) which will be held from 15th of January to the 5th of February 2020!
This event invites librarians from all over the world to add a reference to the article of their choice on the online encyclopedia. Indeed, the Wikimedia Foundation estimates that if each librarian spent 15 minutes to add a source to an article with a " reference needed" banner, it would be possible to improve the reliability of 350,000 articles. "
The Wikipedia Library is an open research hub, a place for active Wikipedia editors to gain access to the vital reliable sources that they need to do their work and to be supported in using those resources to improve the encyclopedia. We aim to make access and use of sources free, easy, collaborative and efficient.
The Wikipedia Library is run by a team of Wikimedia Foundation staff and global volunteers. We operate on a community-organized satellite model: we administer the global project but work with local coordinators in local Wikipedia projects to help each community set up their own libraries.
This wiki was created to be a one-stop shop for great ideas and information for all types of librarians. All over the world, librarians are developing successful programs and doing innovative things with technology that no one outside of their library knows about. There are lots of great blogs out there sharing information about the profession, but there is no one place where all of this information is collected and organized. That's what we're trying to do.

Den korta tiden det tar att få en reaktion på det man gör är en av Wikipedias styrkor. Det är också en av huvudpoängen med alla sociala medier." Det skriver manusförfattaren LENNART GULDBRANDSSON, Wikimedias ordförande i Sverige.
Seit 2003 veröffentlicht die Kommission für One-Person Libraries in lockerer Folge "Checklisten", welche bei Alltagsproblemen einer One-Person Library eine Hilfestellung geben sollen. Sie sind als ein neues "Format" konzipiert, als Working Papers, welche einem Aufgabenbereich Struktur zu geben vermögen und in Stichworten die "Essentials" des betreffenden Gebietes auflisten sollen.
