Books: a new balance?
Journals: move to consolidation?
Discovery layer: need one?
Institutional materials: disclose through discovery layer, but also...

Disclose and syndicate

• institutional collections: is someone responsible for search engine optimization?

• services: Libx, widgets,...
• SEO. Consistent url patterns across services, hackable urls, bookmarking buttons, etc.

This is about interoperability with the web

User and institutional leverage

• expertise, reputation (provide bibliographic tools,...)
• watch identity management: prepare for when manage context (usage) and claims. (affinity strings)
• integration with other campus systems (course management,..)
• 'follow' and intervene? (Salesforce.com)

Usercentric mashups will continue to be important

Organizational
