Ironically, I had (or there was) some trouble with the term "MyLibrary_at_NCState". Granted, the term was originally a variation of My Netscape, My Yahoo, and My Deja News, but all sorts of things followed it, like MyiLibrary, the Google Books My Library, and then there was a ALA thing. I'm not necessarily saying MyLibrary was the leader here, but an example of how trademarks (monikers) can be used, abused, and morphed. --Eric Morgan
