- how to prove our worth to decision makers, value-added
- we have the greatest prison population, greatest dropout rates of high school
- we have a solution to this - this is the group that can change the literacy rate
- show people who write checks that we have a mission, especially those that determine economics of this state we'll get funded
- less focus on bibliographic control - thinks that dangerous
- don't confuse complexity of bib control as a barrier to convenience and quality
- place not things - stress that collections that we have one of our very great strengths. need to figure out how to play to that strength
- as we share our resources the whole world becomes a library
- they come to us for our things
- describing them and making them available is still a big part of our job
- we love to create systems and we love to show users those systems
- they are the backbone of our system - but they don't belong to the users
- they need to be completely invisible
- need to have a business plan
- needs to be in laymans language
- what's the bang for the buck?
- highly refined well developed tool, but still a tool
- you don't want to be in the tool business
- people use tools, but don't need tools
- need to accomplish something, use tools
- classification is not just for location, that's a byproduct
- we make connection in the intellectual content of things
- catalogs haven't been made content rich
- if you don't put that in there they're not going to use
- yes it is a backbone
- outsourcing it undermines the whole system
