What Do We Talk About When We Talk About Brevity?, Robin Bergart Mar 2014

What Do We Talk About When We Talk About Brevity?, Robin Bergart

Modern Languages and Literatures Annual Graduate Conference

What does “brevity” evoke in today’s academic library? In this paper, I explore the notion of brevity with my colleagues at the University of Guelph Library, asking them what the term evokes for them in the library and higher education more broadly.

Around the same time Wassily Kandinsky, another important Russian artist renown for his experiments in purely abstract art, discovered his own unit of representation – the point.
