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.
