Abstract

Picture a virtual city of key internet payers. Google has a main street address as do Yahoo! and MSN, but where do libraries reside? Change is afoot based on a need from libraries and suppliers alike to reduce redundancy and generate what we define as Web scale services. This paper explores what we mean by Web scale and how libraries can achieve it.
