I listened to an audio mp3 download of the following:
"A Library WOT and SWOT" University of Washington Information School, Dean
Emeritus and Professor: Mike Eisenberg
http://www.ifla.org/VII/s46/conf/SeattleProgram.htm (scroll down page to
final day's 'Keynote address')
Eisenberg talked about software that enabled someone to find a book using
the Amazon catalogue and then see if their local library had a copy.
Eisenberg suggested that we drop the traditional online library catalogue
and let people use Amazon instead.
