Integrated and seamless access to the rich resource collections held in libraries, museums and archives in UK HEIs
Creation of a thorough and open aggregated layer - designed to work with all major search engines - of data about the resource collections
Provision of a diverse range of innovative and personalised resource discovery services to students, teachers and researchers
Avoidance of duplication of effort and increased efficiency
Existing resource discovery services encouraged to develop and innovate
Data will be available to commercial organisations to develop services as well
Data and functionality will need to be diffused to other software and websites that are used by students, teachers and researchers
A Future State of the Art by 2012
