+1 for Collections.

Not sure about Library...I think I like Shelves better as a #2.

OTOH, would it make sense to configure this?   Since we have such trouble 
agreeing on it, and since other repositories in other areas seem to like 
different metaphors, perhaps other instances of Invenio would appreciate having 
this as a config variable.   

After all  INSPIRE is mostly physicists, who carry backpacks...   ADS already 
calls this a "Private Library".   When Invenio is adopted by business schools, 
"briefcase" will become the word of choice.   As long as we have to change, why 
not make it admin-configurable, with "collection" as the default?

I'm curious to hear what other folks, especially those running other instances 
think about this.
