I really enjoyed reading your post Luke. I felt it provided a concise and informative study for someone who was unable to attend the chat. I agree that as librarians it is not up to us to judge but to provide to the public what they want. The discussion about how things that are considered trashy can later be seen as classics. I think Dickens started by writing a serial for a newspaper and his writing is now considered classic and a view of Victorian England. Similarly some of the first zines or now seen as being important as offering an insight into the culture and society at the time.
