Abstract
This small book is a concise guide to understanding something that may not be a profound part of libraries in the future. This book explains the basics of blockchain that library personnel will need to know in the event something like it replaces the current data structures of information management. As stated in the introduction, it is “not a guide or manual, but a conversation starter,” and the grant-subsidized research by the co-editors spearheads the complimentary chapters in an orderly manner (xi). Blockchain, with its time-stamped transactions residing in “safe” locations, is a concept that seems the be here to stay.
