Disclosure
How do people know or choose where to start their search? Dempsey:
“If I want the stuff in my library to be discovered by those to whom it will be useful, I have to disclose its existence in those discovery environments that people actually use…”
“Discovery and disclosure”, L. Dempsey’s weblog, Aug 2006http://orweblog.oclc.org

2. Redirection from common discovery environments

Deliver Packages with good metadata and interoperability for linking to
content Move towards e-only Formats – not just text Collaborative/co-operative collection management Authentication/authorisation
