註釋In October 2016, a group of eminent library leaders, research collections specialists and scholars gathered at Norton's Woods Conference Center in Cambridge, MA, to commemorate the career of Dan Hazen (1947-2015) and reflect upon the transformation of academic library collections. The report presented here is not a comprehensive summary of the Hazen symposium, but a selective examination of some central themes that are (we think) important to a broader conversation about the future of academic library collections. We explore two primary themes from the symposium: collective collections and the reimagination of what have traditionally been called "special" and archival collections (now commonly branded as unique and distinctive collections). These two themes are closely intertwined, as the emergence of collaborative strategies for managing shared collections helps enable the strategic reorientation of attention and resource toward increasing specialization and differentiation of local inventory. Our reflections are organized around these two themes, drawing from presentations and audience discussions at the event.
