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

Access to Services Committee"

Morial Convention Center - Rooms 295-296
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.
