Assignment 1: Organizing your photo collection (10 points)

Date Due: Thursday, September 18, 2008 (at the start of class).



Assume that you have been given the broad charge to "organize" your photograph collection that has been growing since 1997. What are the key entities in this collection? What features would you use to organize this collection? Consider the key bibliographic system objectives of finding, collocating, choosing and navigating as you answer this question. Answers that are grounded in our readings thus far from the Svenonius book are preferred.

Be precise but complete in your answer using the space you need. My thinking is that answers that are 2 pages long are way too long. Precise answers that require about 1 page are preferred.

Submit a print version of your answer.
