I really don't understand the idea that we MUST label the link , The
Catalog.  Also the idea that the catalog is central to what we do may be
right but it is NOT central to what users do.  It is simply another tool
that we are trying to make easier to use.  Labeling it with an action
verb (Find or even Browse) plus a noun does that for the user.  Our web
sites are NOT for us.  They are for our users.  Actually the  library
user is central to what we do, not the catalog.  Can a section be added
to the Web4Lib Reference Center documenting the studies and links to
those studies?  This looks like a good topic to also add to Library
Success Wiki or to LISwiki.
