    Recent History I: The Gutenberg Terror

    Information tied to physical objects, therefore tied to physical locations


    Text contained in physical documents, therefore searchable only by reading Texts searchable only by reading, therefore findable only by means of searchable proxies

    J. Willard Marriott Library

    Recent History II: The Digital Era

    Emancipation

    Texts fully searchable Texts available remotely Texts available 24/7 Texts available to multiple simultaneous users

    Complication

    Texts have no physical properties Concept of ownership erodes Concept of sharing becomes weird Risk of loss becomes ambiguous (If your library burns) J. Willard Marriott Library

    The Library as a Conservative Institution

    Education
    Preservation Organization

    Current Reality: Why Do We Collect?

    To preserve (Special Collections)


    To provide access, by

    Gathering information objects into a central location (or, in the case of digital objects, location) Organizing those objects and/or creating metadata to make them findable Preserving them in some way to make access to them permanent, or at least functionally permanent
