Where is ShittyWatercolors when you need them????!!!

Shittywatercolors likes dogs more than dicks, I see.

My question is mainly directed at Catherine, but anyone can answer. When it comes to a digital library, what kinds of content do you find necessary to serve an internet community that wouldn't be as important in a brick and mortar library?

I ask as a librarian who works with internet culture. So many resources for this type of study are fleeting and disappear quickly (ie: 4chan, Geocities) and archiving needs to be outsourced to third parties that will sometimes have trouble sustaining themselves (4chanarchive.org which is gone now I think?) or will not have easily searchable data (the Geocities archive is a file, not all available online AFAIK). Do you think there will be any movement towards making these kind of resources a priority in the future?
