Expectations have changed People expect to be able to do information work from their desks People expect to get the full-text of their information, not just its metadata People expect to be able to do things with the full-text, such as: download, , annotate, review, etc.

“Next generation” library catalogs will probably… Be more of a finding aid Include not just metadata, but the data itself, such as: full-text books, journal articles, pictures, data sets, etc. Be as much about services applied against the data as the data itself

MyLibrary as a part of a “NGC”
