it is imperative that a resource such as OCLC continue to explore and be receptive to embracing current technology. OCLC allows libraries nationawide to share their resources. With space limitations in all libraries, this is an essential tool for library patrons/customers.

As long as we don't overwhelm our customers and can continue to present the matieral in a manner that is not off putting.

If everyone could just slow down a smidgen... :)
