Sonia - using Zotero a lot at the moment, likes writing tags

library loaded in French on Chrome!

uploading - can't upload large files!!!

Categories:
    difficult with tagging people - hard to remember who the reference was

At some point people will look for specific things, when the collection grows

How do I browse everything?

LB is very self-directed

Finding contemporary references is hard - easy to find Susan Sontag, Flusser, but what about today?

found references through other books - e.g. non-human photography > anthropology of tourism
not often through people

it's about having a space to have conversations - reading groups etc

focus group classes: what is artistic research?

Wilma Knol (librarian at Research Station), ginger koons, Jojanneke Gijsen 

memory of the library - remembering student through books they borrowed
e.g. painters who borrowed Phillip Guston books

From 12-1 December 11th in the library
"make a sustainable library for the future" directive from management - inclusivity
Cataloguing
