• It is not content but context that will matter most a decade or
so from now. The scarce resource will not be stuff, but point of
view.
Paul Saffo, Wired, Issue 2.03, Mar 1994
• Users likely expect that if they can discover that something is
available, they should have access to it - a use pattern best
exemplified by google, but that I believe has transcended to
the library sphere as well.
