Using Santa Cruz County, California, as a model, this book introduces the experience of bringing a local community to the world through social media technology. The opening section covers the early efforts of recording the local Santa Cruz area, before moving on to deal with Library 1.0, while the next part looks at the present situation with Library 2.0 and its benefits. The concluding chapters discuss future directions and the implications of Library 3.0 and beyond.<div> </div>
