+== Shelves of randomness ==
 An entire shelf of randomness has accumulated. It's not that this randomness can't be accommodated somewhere in the library, but rather, whether it should. It all comes back to sifting and sorting stuff out. **There could be critical documents in this shelf.** Yet there also appears to be much that doesn't need to be kept.
-We presently have the luxury of a dedicated library space (even if it often just ends up as a storeroom), but in coming years this will by no means be guaranteed. How might the collection become more "mobile"? First, the excess could be discarded. Multiple redundant copies, irrelevant material, //useless ephemera//… But second, the digital catalogue might become much more important: metadata, notes, comments, connections in the database, but also digitised copies. Although this opens a whole can of worms with all the (active or passive) copyright issues…

 == Disks ==
-Zotero is not so good for cataloguing CDs, DVDs, and all the other miscellaneous stuff on disks. The "Disks" section in any case is nearly redundant, as most of this material will be or can be archived on the servers, and if necessary catalogued using more appropriate methods.
+Zotero is not so good for cataloguing CDs, DVDs, and all the other miscellaneous kinds of disks out there. The "Disks" section in any case is close to redundant, as most of this material can be archived on the servers, and if necessary catalogued using more appropriate methods. So now there's another shelf of stuff that needs "further review"…
