Lorcan Dempsey's May 14, 2006, blog titled: "Lifting out the catalog discovery experience" presents a remarkable discussion about the future of the catalog. Perhaps most interestingly, his discussion is user-centric, that is, he discusses the catalog from the user's point of view, as a process of - discover, locate, request, deliver - in the chain of use of library materials.

Dempsey notes that "The discovery experience does not have to be tied to the inventory management system." And when one has made this little leap, it seems to me, we are better positioned to think about increasing access to library materials to all Montana's library users.
