Change is hard. Change can hurt. Given where we are now, and where the wider world is going, change is essential. [...]

Future of OPACs Catalogs

If I wasn’t finished with the conference and I was posting this live I’d say that this was the best presentation of the entire conference – now that I know what comes after I’d have to vote this as the second best.
