| Summary: | The article examines social, cultural and technological change in the systems and economies of educational information management. Since the Sumerians first collected, organized and supervised administrative and religious records six millennia ago, libraries have been key physical depositories and cultural archives in the production, preservation and mediation of social capital and power through education. Digital culture has disrupted modernity and its cultural apotheosis. Instant and unrestricted access to information on the Web has revolutionized the nature of writing, identity, culture, community and education.
