The chapter seeks to demonstrate that requirements posed by transmedia are highly relevant for library metadata practices. It gives an overview of new models of learning and literacy that strongly rely on the ability to aggregate, assess, categorise, use and create meaningful information out of portions coming from various communicative contexts. In this context, transmedia is seen as a paradigm of our future interaction with information. It is suggested that transmedia may encourage the development of learning skills and multiple forms of literacy, as well as the overall ability to construct meaning from diverse outputs. Bibliographic organisation can support these processes and create opportunities for further research into user engagement with transmedia content. The chapter also provides guidance on how to overcome potential threats to implementation of new, more transmedia-friendly metadata practices. It is proposed that libraries should collaborate more extensively with other information organising communities, including users. |
