**Catalog Transformed: From Traditional to Emerging Models of Use**
RUSA-RSS "Catalog Use Committee", co-sponsored by RUSA-MARS "User Access to Services Committee"
When: Sunday, June 25 4:00 - 5:30 pm
Where: New Orleans Morial Convention Center - Rooms 295-296
Abstract: Given the increasing Googlization of electronic resources in libraries, should the catalog, serial lists, and database lists be accessed through a single interface? If so, how will our users understand what they are getting? If not, what are the risks to users and librarians of maintaining separate systems for searching? We will hear a panel of experts discuss emerging models of catalog use, the consequences of maintaining separate systems, and how libraries are addressing the changing needs and expectations of users.
