Current Integrated Library Systems•Library aims at offering what it
owns or what it can find and “catalogue”
• Limiting factors are• money / staff
• knowledge of real user needs

Paradigm change• Classical environment
• focused on institution -> ownership• closed• static
• Cyberspace environment• focused on user needs -> service / access
• open • dynamic

Tomorrow’s system •User seeks, what he/she needs
regardless where to find it• Library is just one of possible
resources• Limiting factors are
• ability to navigate among the possibilities
• willingness to spend effort / time• money (VERY individual)

To sum up• So what now?
Focus shift from description to mediation of resources
• Electronic accessibility• printed EDD• digitised collections: historical / current• publishers/aggregators: Web of Science,
Elsevier, Springer, IOPP / EBSCO, ProQuest, Dialog, …
• How to deliver to client in a simple and intuitive way?

The craftsmanship & tools are hereLegal framework not too suitable but I will refrain from
spending time with that, that would be another paper

Answer: portals, gateways• aggregation of all available resources under one
interface:• catalogues• A&I databases, full-text databases• „on demand“ digitisation • e-bookstore• search engines (Google, …)
• single login requirement• orientation in the flood???
• subject-specific selection of resources – e.g. METALIB• dynamic linking of referenced resources - SFX (ELAG ’01)

VPL software Principle - copy ordering through Union
Catalogue, supplier any participating library, mutual accounting, [payment by card?]
• based on former “user accounts”
• support of orders through other UC via OpenURL

Instead of a Conclusion• What’s more important: the „pipes“ or
the what flows through them?• Neither!• “The future belongs to neither the
conduit or content players, but to those who control filtering, searching, and sense-making tools we will rely on to navigate through the expanses of cyberspace” [Saffo, Wired, 1994]
