There is so much information out there in cyberspace and it is fantastic that people are coming together to organise it better, link things easier, personalise it and make it more interactive. Software before seemed to be the ONE in control but now with these new programs there is a feeling of being in control and getting what you want faster.
For Libraries these are interesting times and I look forward to all the innovation. ENCORE certainly is a more comprehensive interface.
For students it is exciting as I felt that in the past there seemed to be a trend towards a price being put on knowledge with restricted access to databases and other commercial types of information. Now to have information and a forum for interaction put out there for free use for students and researchers from the comfort of their homes is refreshing and an exciting concept.
