This is an article with a good point: what happens to library selections over time as business needs / logistical hassles make it necessary to make cuts? I liked the parallel of the DD system to the KNN algo.
But that is unfortunately overshadowed by the out-of-left-field dismissive and insulting comment about literature in a different field, and about business majors. Frankly, those few sentences overshadow the point that he tried to make: that preservation of knowledge is important. Overshadowed because he made it obvious that this principle applies only to material the author personally considers worthy of preserving.
Taking the author at his word, I have to ask: if representation of Topic X is excessive in a business school's library, why should any space at all be dedicated at all to your pet interests over the needs of paying students?
