The "Next generation" Library Catalog
A "Next generation" library catalog by Eric Lease Morgan is well worth reading.
This text outlines an idea for a "next generation" library catalog. In two sentences, this catalog is not really an catalog at all but more like a tool designed to make it easier for students to learn, teachers to instruct, and scholars to do research. It provides its intended audience with a more effective means for finding and using data and information.
