Da biblioteca di conservazione a biblioteca di innovazione. L’approccio transdisciplinare nella Biblioteca Centrale del CNR

The contribution explores the transdisciplinary approach in library innovation, with reference to the CNR Central Library. The digital humanities, understood as a cultural project and not simply a discipline, represent a dialogue between the hard sciences and humanities mediated by the digital. Technology has transformed libraries from repositories of knowledge to forges of innovation. Tools such as XML TEI, the semantic web and linked open data support digitisation and data interoperability. The article emphasises how the integration of advanced technologies, such as augmented reality and gamification, promotes accessibility and dissemination of knowledge, involving a wider audience. Through these tools, libraries not only preserve cultural heritage, but also promote new modes of interactive use. In particular, the CNR Central Library stands as an example of how the transdisciplinary approach can be successfully applied to meet the challenges of the digital age.
