You talked about personal digital libraries in the lecture. Does Flickr fit the bill as one of these? Your holdings on Google docs? What about a lack of searchable metadata, or a lack of metadata overall? How important is metadata to a library, digital or not?
And how does this tie into cloud computing, in which we do everything online – is one's cloud a digital library?
How much of this is conceptual stretching, meaning at this point what is not a digital library? Do these slides jibe with the definitions we read and discussed in the first few weeks of the course?
