Description:
Explore the connections between the promise of next generation catalogs, the potential of global information networks, and what catalogers do. How may catalogers and others use new tools like WorldCat Local, the eXtensible Catalog, faceted browsing, etc., new concepts like "ambient findability" and new behaviors like social tagging, web searching, etc., to create valuable services for information users. This program will present views of the future of catalogs, cataloging, and catalogers.
