Summary
In the midst of some recent spring cleaning in my library I had the pleasure of finding a report documenting the current and future IT needs of Purdue University’s Hicks Undergraduate Library. The column features commentary written by ITAL editorial board members on the intersection of technology and libraries. [The library] has seven public workstations running eight different databases and using six different search software programs. There are hundreds of “search software programs”—doesn’t that phrase sound odd today?—including the library databases, the catalog, and any number of commercial search engines like Google.
