Regardless of these advances, many library websites continue to replicate the physical and functional organization of the traditional library.
Web-based access to services has evolved as a thin veneer over library technical infrastructures that were designed to support traditional library services.
As such, library websites are typically organized around library functions (interlibrary loan, circulation, reference) or existing information stores (the card catalog, print indexes).

Examples
Connect discovery environments to backend library systems
Interact with registries of servicesMake functionality available in multiple
applications
It must change
The network is ‘inside’The library has to co-evolve with changing
research and learning behaviors.The impact of technology on research and
learning is more telling than its impact on the library itself.
Flexible responses are important.
