Digital Collections Vs. Queer Theory

In Drabinski’s article, on page 13 she claims, “a queer theoretical approach calls instead for queer solutions: shifts in analytical approach that take seriously the contingency of these apparently stable structures…they should highlight and make visible the fundamental paradoxes of classification and cataloging from a queer perspective: in order to be accessible to users, materials must be fixed in place and described using controlled vocabulary. However, this fixing is always fundamentally fictive; classification and subject heading decisions are always made in a context that is subject to change.” Considering this statement about queer theory in libraries, where is this theory’s place in the digital age? In the conversation of going from print to digital in libraries, there is always the question of how do you go about deciding what parts of a collection to digitize. On top of this, how would you transform the physical space in the library to foster better collaboration with the digital? How does queer theory fit into this?
