|
|
|
<p>A basic definition of a library, because it's called for, because we've moved so far from it being simply a collection of books:
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p><p>A library retains:
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul><li>a collection of texts</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>A library produces:
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul><li>sociability</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>A library gives access to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul><li>knowledge</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Each statement declares the verb and object predicated by the subject of "A library". What if these objects were exchanged between these sentences?
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, it becomes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul><li>A library retains sociability, produces a collection of texts, and gives access to knowledge.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>A library retains knowledge, produces sociability, and gives access to a collection of texts.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>A library retains a collection of texts, produces knowledge, and gives access to sociability.</li></ul>
|
|
|

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Perspectives_on_current_and_potential_libraries">Perspectives on current and potential libraries</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/mw-mediadesign/index.php?title=User:Simon/Trim4/Running_backwards_through_the_library&action=edit&section=T-2" title="Edit section: ">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>By changing parts of speech (the verb and its object), we can imagine different scenarios that potential (and current) libraries can play out. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p><p><b>A library retains knowledge</b><br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Retention of knowledge points towards the desire to acquire information that has high value; intellectual, social, practical etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p><p><b>produces a collection of texts</b><br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
What are the texts that can be produced? Metadata, annotations and marginalia, infrastructural interfaces for readers (signage, an index, a classification system)
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p><p><b>and gives access to sociability</b><br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
How does the library give access to sociability? What are the necessary actions for sociability to become accessible, and what are the limits to accessibility?
|
|
