Mark, your blog post gives me pointers and directions that will take 
weeks to follow, but I'm glad to have a starting point. Thanks. Your 
references to hypertext and creation with hypertext remind me of David 
Lankes' "library as conversation" [1]. I like the ongoing, always 
moving, always changing view of libraries and archives, as opposed to 
the "finite set of things we own" view. I want a library that consists 
of the "stuff" plus the conversation between the authors and the users, 
and between users and users. What's important about the "stuff" is HOW 
it is used. Someone at d4l13 mentioned user-generated metadata and I 
wrote down: what about "USE-generated metadata?" What people do with a 
book may be more important the the (inert) book itself.

So that's what I'm thinking about. Basically a library of people who use 
resources, not a library of resources that ignores their use.
