English abstract

Crowdsourcing is the latest trend in innovation. The term means separation of one organization area and putting it into the hands of the crowd (an organized community) in the form of an open call. The community can be formed both by high class professionals and amateurs who, having the tools to communicate and exchange views, join in the clearly defined tasks. Currently, crowdsourcing is implemented primarily in companies and NGOs. Since the implementation of solutions based on crowdsourcing is quite straightforward, it is also used in public and social activities, including ventures initiated by archives, museums and libraries. This article presents the idea of crowdsourcing as well as some examples its application in libraries.

Polish abstract

Crowdsourcing jest najnowszym trendem w tworzeniu innowacji. Terminem tym określa się wydzielenie z organizacji pewnego obszaru działalności i oddanie go w ręce tłumu – zorganizowanej społeczności internetowej w formie otwartego zaproszenia. Społeczność tę mogą tworzyć zarówno wysokiej klasy specjaliści, jak i amatorzy, którzy dysponując określonymi narzędziami do komunikowania się i wymiany poglądów, przystępują do realizacji ściśle określonych zadań. Obecnie crowdsourcing wdrażany jest przede wszystkim w przedsiębiorstwach i organizacjach pozarządowych. Ponieważ wprowadzanie rozwiązań na nim opartych jest proste, coraz częściej towarzyszy także działaniom obywatelskim i społecznym, w tym przedsięwzięciom inicjowanym przez archiwa, muzea i biblioteki. Artykuł przybliża istotę crowdsourcingu oraz przykłady wykorzystywania jego mechanizmów przez biblioteki.
