Have been working on my essay for week 5/6. Very tough reading. It was difficult to try and combine the three books :Willinsky, Borgman and Wright into one coherent essay. there was so much information and I didn't know where to start. I really enjoyed Glut though. I liked how is uses history to show our need (not just humans but all animals) for organization and the creative ways in which people have created organizational systems of over the centuries. It is alos a good overview of library history and introduces us to inventions that never made it for one reason or another and ideas that did make it but have sort of become obsolete: re. Dewey. Nonetheless, our library uses Dewey because it is convenient for us and the subject classifications all fit in nicley with out collection.
