**Catalog Transformed: From Traditional to Emerging Models of Use**
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.
