From peer economy to peer library, innovative French projects improving quality of life: common goods, creation, value

Résumé

The peer economy is based on sharing or exchanging goods, services, or knowledge between individuals, with or without money exchange, often via a digital matchmaking platform. This system aims at offering alternative models to attempt to answer to today's needs in a challenging economic environment. Current research on peer economy is mainly focused on its political and economic revolution induced in capitalist societies. As a part of the non-market sector, it appears that libraries have not been studied yet through the prism of peer economy. Still, recent studies and advocacy work tend to show that libraries do have an economic impact on our societies. We make the hypothesis that libraries can be part of the peer economy and therefore want to demonstrate how they support P2P exchanges among patrons and librarians, improving quality of life on a daily basis. The emergence of the peer economy as a new business model has also raised the awareness of libraries interested in developing new services and uses. This tendency is currently resulting in the development of collaborative projects in different fields meeting three criteria: common goods, innovation and value. We based our research on a literature review of French LIS and general articles presenting projects to question the emergence of peer libraries in France. This paper discusses the notions of common goods, innovation and value and how libraries can be studied through this economic prism.
