Blockchain

Most people who are familiar with Blockchain probably know it as the tamper-proof ledger system behind digital currencies like Bitcoin, but some researchers are already considering other potential uses for the technology, including some that may eventually impact libraries. Matthew Hoy has written about the possible uses of Blockchain technology to create distributed, verifiable medical or educational records, digital rights management, or even time-stamped journal articles.8 Blockchain technology is still far from being in common use in libraries, but with new research being done, it may be a technology that has significant impact on libraries in the future. The San Jose State University School of Information recently received a $100,000 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to investigate potential uses for Blockchain in libraries.9
