Since I’m working with some of the late Ross Atkinson’s concepts right now (particularly his idea of the “anti-collection”), I’m more alert than usual to other good uses of his ideas. Over on Collections 2.0, Steven Harris has a wonderful post on “the gravity of libraries” that I think Atkinson might have loved (especially the equation.) It’s serious, easy to read, and brings together a lot of interesting things: librarian gravitas, in other words. Go read it!
