I propose we chill on this issue for awhile and get on with other pressing issues (at least until the case comes to more definite conclusions)
By way of last words on the subject (for now), I humbly (well, maybe not) submit that the UCLA case points precisely and very cogently to the difficulties that can result when libraries and other institutions lack knowledgeable, experienced professional specialists on board to serve as gate-keepers and collection development shepherds for specialized collections. It also points to what happens when administrators (and faculty)get embroiled in practical and professional issues with which they have superficial (and often gapingly inaccurate) information and experience.
