Visions for the Future
* A strategic alliance with Amazon is perhaps only the first of many outreach possibilities
* Amazon to support DC and investigate CQL and SRU!
* With small, well defined steps up the ladder, we hope that implementations will extend far beyond the 'book' focus
* Web 2.0 needs SRU, not sixteen different search protocols
* Library 2.0 (cough) needs SRU.
* European Library portal demonstrates the approach's power
* SRU needs input from the rest of the world
* Business models are important (eg Amazon vs Google)
