Re: [ARSCLIST] Cataloging, Collecting, Copyright, and Conversion

I don't have time to browse the NYT or other electronic media for
that matter, and so I appreciate someone serving it up for me. I
also appreciate philosophical issues, because if we are not to be
merely hoarders but reflecting collectors, then we need some food
for thought. In particular when we think we are fit to advise more or
less substantial archives on what to do. It is not all about some
dealer's new main bearing.

The list is the ARSClist, and not someone's hobbyhorse. I think
that it could be useful to have an official discussion during the
upcoming ARSC Annual Conference. At least that will force people
to be insulting to each other's faces instead of hiding behind a
cloak of internet anonymity. Enough for now.

Kind regards,

George
