The collection as thought experiment
Some of the collection proposals in this semester’s class have given rise to this idea: is there value to thinking of collections that can’t or won’t be built, and examining the reasons why? Is there value to thinking of sub-collections that can be formed out of existing collections to supplement (or to subvert) the focus of those collections? Is there value to thinking of collections that have two sides (a “public” face for outsiders and a “private” face for insiders)?
Clearly, yes.
Probably a paper in that somewhere too…..
