20. A philosophy shift? New audiences and new directions suggest a radical trust “ We can only build emergent systems if we have radical trust . With an emergent system, we build something without setting in stone what it will be or trying to control all that it will be. We allow and encourage participants to shape and sculpt and be co-creators of the system. We don't have a million customers/users/patrons ... we have a million participants and co-creators .“ Darlene Fichter University of Saskatchewan Libraries, 2 April 2006, “Web 2.0, Library 2.0 and Radical Trust: A First Take”
