Is there a future (in search & content) for libraries?
• The even broader question that we rarely ask• A variation on this question is, “what happens if we cede
discovery to Google Scholar and its ilk?”• The promise (and threat) of Open Access
The Broader Scope of Access
Three Inseparable Components
Get to students
where they are at
their platform of
choice
REACH OUT
Provide simple and
intuitive design
SERVICES
Analyze behavior and
usage to faciliate an
even better
interaction
INSIGHTS
Reach Out – Search Engines (Google, Bing, etc.)

concepts
