Endangered Species & Dangerous Metaphors
The Map
Trends, rates,

Rule-proving

This is a big opportunity
This can be addressed in
many ways and at
m
any ratesSlide6
Establish categories of concern
Archiving cycles for most likely high-impact mono groups
FRBRize
retention commitments
Consider hybrid (light/dim/dark) archives
Seek additional copies
Secondary market
Private collections
Non-PAN affiliated libs.
Rate of Change
Loss rate for ILL
Region/Consortia
Total Population
Extinct in the Library
(We may be more like the zoo than the wild)Slide7

Consider the Antelope…*
Dramatization
Twenty-five endangered antelope speciesLoss of habitat
Trophy hunting
Illicit pelt and horn trade
Competition with grazing cattle
De-escalation
“Wastebasket Taxon”
66 of 91 species are in “least concern” status (
72.5
%)
Systematic risk is low; individual risk is real and often very severe
Species risk and habitat loss may be better addressed as a joint issue, to preserve the creature and the place
Specifically, the Mountain
nyala
or
balbok
(
Tragelaphus
buxtoni
)
* With apologies to Suzanne
Briet and David Foster Wallace
Most artifact value falls in a small part of the longest part of the tail; keep specific instances
Assumptions about care give way to specific, binding, measurable commitments
Make room for technologies and workspaces…
… and also cultivate more
browsable
stacks and better curated collections
