a linked open data world can make a truly "web-scale" catalog possible; libr expertise can work w/collaborative metadata creation.

cataloging in a linked open data world means we're not limited to the resources (incl time) of a single libr. 
beignets and sweet tea were an inspired catering choice for the  wrap-up party.

murray: "intereseted in turning libraries into scale of itunes"  #alamw11 #rmg21
move beyond the "one space fits all ages" concept in libraries (21+ ideas) 
bob kieft: academic library to academic commons -> build a common that has library component in it. #beambytes 
murray - if you could pool all the libraries, about 1 million worldwide - it would be significantly bigger than google or fb #alamw11 #rmg21
library advocacy institute  schoollibrarybranding.wikispaces.com
cloud-based and web-scale do not mean the same thing. a million libraries together would be bigger than google. 
web scale - gathered tremendous community, tremendous amount of data, generally run cloud based service  #alamw11 #rmg21
murray: when you look at the web, there are some 10 genuinelly "web scale" providers. libraries aren't at all in that space  #alamw11 #rmg21
hear about our newest staff picks in random house booth #1816 
ok. no powerpoint. can we please have full lights? 
rob just used the word hermeneutics.  #rmg21
question to murray: "what does web scale mean to you?"  it probably came up in a bar somewhere....  #alamw11 #rmg21

@slmcdanold: u of chicago gave preference to cataloger's judgment over broad/blanket policy decisions; but catalogers struggled w/doing it  #rda
chachara: different institutions have different infrastrucutre ownership requirements - each in its own way #rmg21 #alamw11

chachara - internationally, you can't provide saas where network connectivity isn't good enough to do so #rmg21 #alamw11
