Reflexive Curation: Accident, Risk, and Medium in the Collectively Curated Collection, Accident, Risk, and Medium in the Collectively Curated Collection, Reflexive Curation
-
Description
-
The systems we use to record, communicate, and safeguard knowledge and experience, including our increasingly distributed and coordinated systems of curation, themselves increase complexity and risk, which will not be reduced, overall, by new or additional knowledge or technology. We must be careful not to overestimate what we think we know about the functioning of these complex systems, or to extrapolate too confidently from current trends.

Scholarly Communication and Liberal Arts College Libraries
-
Description
-
Scholarly communication, in addition to referring to the disciplinary practices that structure the dissemination of scholarly knowledge, has become shorthand for two meanings: on the one hand, it refers to an analytic "author/reader" framework that seeks critical understanding of the entire life cycle of scholarly knowledge and the connected roles of researchers, teachers, students, funders, libraries, publishers, and other kinds of agencies in the creation, dissemination, critique, reuse, and preservation of knowledge.
