Thinking the unthinkable - Doing away with the library catalogue

Abstract

At Utrecht University we strongly believe that academic libraries have lost their role in the discovery of scientific information and should focus on delivery instead. Without your own discovery tool you might feel stark naked. However, we have to admit that others can do a better job on discovery, so don't spend too much time on this. Make a priority of your delivery task and rethink the way you can provide value for your users.
