図書館の「知る自由」と、その先について【WW2026】

2015年から、公共図書館でウィキペディアタウンやマッピングパーティを重ねてきました。そこで見えてきたのは、市民の目線、図書館の事情、まちづくり、地域アーカイブが、「オープンデータ」という言葉でつながっているということです。 図書館が支える「知る自由」の先で、地図を書くのは市民だけなのか。WikipediaやOpenStreetMapを手がかりに、司書と市民が地域の記録を書き足す意味を考えます。

"Freedom to Know" in Libraries—and What Lies Beyond

Since 2015, I have been organizing "Wikipedia Town" events and mapping parties at public libraries. Through these activities, I have come to see how the perspectives of citizens, the realities of library operations, community development, and local archives are all interconnected through the concept of "open data." Beyond the "freedom to know" that libraries uphold—are citizens the only ones who should be creating maps? Drawing on platforms like Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap, I explore the significance of librarians and citizens working together to document and record their local communities.
