Live: Lorcan Dempsey--Emerging Pattern

Environments: back office/management; materials workflow; user environment; between Managment and end User Access

Workflow:

• Bought/physical
• Electronic/Licensed
• Digital/Digitized
• Special collections/Archives

Manage it-->Content-->Metadata-->Get It-->Find It

This results in a very complex environment, with legacy systems, etc.:

• ILS, ERM, Repository, Special
• MARC, A&I, XXX, DC, EAD
• ILL/Circ, Link resolver, special
• OPAC, MetaSearch,A-Z,NxtBen, Website

Website intergration that gives something wholistic/organic

U of Michigan's web site does quite a nice job of wrapping around all these services, etc.

Industry pattern that you can see emerging==end-user environment with integrated discover and the management environment that has integrated resource managment

When you put the network in there, it gets a little more complicated, but can still see this integrated environment
