I have run into two essays by Eric Lease Morgan this week that paint an excellent picture of today’s challenges for library technology and possible future solutions within our reach:
Catalog Collectivism : XC and the Future of Library Search (Pdf from E-LIS) [“Collections without services are useless, and services without collections are empty.”]
Today’s Digital Information Landscape from Infomotions, Inc. [“It is not so much about the what we are doing. It is more about the how.”]
Watch for Eric’s name on library writings… he often offers well-phrased and insightful comments on whatever issue he addresses.
