  • #52 Compared to federated search; using individual databases one at a time
  • #55 Is it even so that it is time (for real) to loosen up the content of our isolated library system (for real) and let our data to interact with theoutside world data (for real)?
  • #59 So…. Is implementing a discovery tool a defensive action undertaken by libraries, publishers, vendors to try to stop a specific threat to their existence? And will it be successful?
