Will Search Engines Usurp Library Catalogs?
College Students’ Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources: a Report
to the OCLC Membership: http://www.oclc.org/reports/perceptionscollege.htm
What if libraries don’t change how they support the discovery and delivery of their collections?

What the users are saying

The Catalog in Context
Online catalogs represent one node in the end user’s information universe

What if libraries don’t change the context for producing library metadata
B.W. (Before the Web)
For finding and managing library materials (mostly print)
Catalog records (well-understood rules and encoding conventions)
Shared cooperative cataloging systems
Usually handcrafted, one at a time
A.W. (After the Web)
For finding and managing many types of materials, for many user communities
Many types of records, many sources
Loosely coupled metadata management, reuse and exchange services among multiple repositories
Mix of manual and automated creation and metadata extract, conversion, mapping, ingest and transfer services
