  1. A National Union Catalogue for the Future? Challenges, Opportunities, Pathways… Joy Palmer, Mimas Joy.palmer@manchester.ac.uk @joypalmer

  2. Currently, the primary academic use case for Copac is to identify specific physicaltexts. This is rapidly changing. The ‘right’ text is not necessarily a specific text, but the one that is readily available online at point of need.

  3. Is there a future business case for Copac? (or a ‘national union catalogue’?)

  4. What business are we in?

  6. Function of the catalogue is “rebundled” in changing network environments [Lorcan Dempsey, 2011]

  7. Leveraging Linked Data: A Question of scale Linked and Open Copac and Archives Hub (LOCAH)

  8. The Social Network Attention!

  9. Another question of scale. What if this represented a national aggregation of activity data?

  11. t A Problem Shared? Collaborative collection management
