OCLC views these new services as increasing the value of the subscriptions it offers to its members. It eliminates many of the redundancies inherent in
the current patterns of library automation and allows libraries to take advantage of Web-scale

“Visits to libraries, focus groups, and over a decade of engagement in the library automation world have convinced me that libraries require less complexity in their management systems”
Libraries spend a great deal of time on repetitive tasks, such as cataloging best-sellers, while ignoring the most valuable aspects of their collections: the archives, the rare items, the unique collections.
Libraries must "transfer effort into higher value activity" and embrace the web as the primary technology infrastructure.
