Will library users in five years expect to search our visual media collections and retrieve specific clips? Will I be able to search google video or yahoo video and find the "You talkin to me" scene from Taxi Driver? Will I be able to do that in my Library catalog? Truly a can 'o' worms, but I think the fluid transition from text and image based content to high resolution audi and visual media on the Internet is charging fullsteam ahead, and tomorrows sophisticated searchers will expect a much more granular searhc capacity to the Library's content. Here is a current result set for the search "you talkin to me" from regular google: http://tinyurl.com/kck4g
