Report from OCLC Members Council Meeting
From the report:

Lorcan Dempsey, Vice President, OCLC Programs and Research and Chief Strategist, provided a brief outline of OCLC’s strategy going forward. He stressed the importance of providing library services at the network level, giving users the option to move seamlessly from local, to group, to global resources.

“The network has become central enough to what people do that it is not an exaggeration to say this is where people live. It is certainly the place where they get things done. This means increasingly that support for workflow must be available within the network environment. It’s not just in individual Web sites; it’s how those Web sites work together to help users get things done,” said Mr. Dempsey.
