From Papyrus to Kindle: a Glimpse at the History of Printing in the Western World
Title
From Papyrus to Kindle: a Glimpse at the History of Printing in the Western World, A Glimpse at the History of Printing in the Western World
Description
Books all over the world continue to undergo an evolution, which began many centuries ago, to achieve the appearance that we are familiar with today. In both the Eastern world and the West, practically every aspect of the printed book has changed. From the physical appearance of the book, to the location of the title page, to the variety of production methods and uses of illustrations, and from papyrus scrolls, to bound volumes, to e-readers, books today may bear no resemblance to their previous incarnations.

Reflexive Curation: Accident, Risk, and Medium in the Collectively Curated Collection
Title
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.
