Digital Libraries and Crowdsourcing (Computer Engineering: Digital Tools and Uses Set) 1st Edition

These internet users can be volunteers or paid, work consciously, unconsciously or in the form of games. They can provide the workforce, skills, knowledge or financial resources that libraries need in order to achieve unimaginable goals.
