special collections on teaching, learning, and research, and,
through institutional case studies, considers the variety of collaborative
opportunities made possible by the digitization of special
collections. Given that there is likely to be an increasing demand for
using special collections in learning and an increasing number of
collections will be born digital, it would be advisable for academic
libraries to determine methods to make learning with digital collections
as engaging as learning with physical materials, and to create
space and staffing to accommodate the greater use of physical collections.
Both digital and physical collections offer their own particular
opportunities for users to look closely at unique, primary source materials
and engage with them in ways that support cross-disciplinary
research and collaboration in teaching.
To begin, it is helpful to query what

As such it cannot and should not be treated separately from related issues like the arms race in non-instruction related student amenities, administrative bloat, college athletics etc. It is also clear that the humanities have been impacted as a whole to a disproportionate extent and the very concept of a liberal arts education has been under active attack for some time now in North America, with the clear possibility of higher education becoming a glorified vocational finishing school for the STEM disciplines while still ostensibly marketing itself as a steward of knowledge and research for their own sakes. Despite the need to treat the subject more holistically and to construct coalitions across disciplinary boundaries, tenure and non-tenure track status, and seniority levels, the question still remains: what can we as cinema and media studies scholars and teachers concretely do at this moment in time and from the vantage point of our field to better understand, prepare for and mitigate this crisis without waiting for someone to come and save us and without leaving the space to market forces to preemptively determine our value and reason for being.
