I wonder how many of us are conceptually on board with the concept of a
national catalog, and yet hesitate to endorse this concept (or even argue
for a functional model we realize is not working for us now, if it ever did)
because the only functional model remotely available to us (and not that
remote any more, either) would place us under the control of the Big O.
