- 1. Bring the National Geographic Society to your Library New from Gale Cengage Learning With Stephen Abram, MLS & VP and Scott Dawson, Publisher 1
- 10. Bridging the Gap We must position the library as a quality resource • One that delivers the experience that users demand in libraries which is NOT a consumer experience • One where the searches deliver quality based on user needs and expectations and not based on commercial or special interests • One that integrates text based resources with visual resources 10

Bridging the Gap We must position libraries understanding of the user’s adventure • Homework doesn’t have to be a trial or un-fun • Travel enjoyment is in the anticipation and planning • Armchair adventurers are a public library sweet-spot • National Geographic magazines are forever (look at your donations) 11

- We can’t talk too much about the entire Virtual Library as we haven’t signed the contract with the details, but the Nat Geo Mag Archive will be searchable with other content types from Nat Geo through other interfaces.
