Summary:
[In French, with an English abstract.]
Abstract: Instead of outsource tasks to providers in cheap labour countries, libraries increasingly appeal to online crowds, making relationship with their users more collaborative. The PhD begins with a conceptual chapter on the consequences of this new economic model on society and on libraries. Then, an overview of the projects is presented in the areas of digitization on demand (crowdfunding) and OCR correction with gamification and folksonomy. It is followed by a state of the art, a review and analysis on crowdsourcing applied to digitization and digital libraries. Finally, conceptual contributions and original experiments, with Numalire, a crowdfunding and digitization on demand project are presented.
