Is there a gap between what researchers want and what information professionals provide? In this presentation, we tried to show that people's expectations have changed. We illustrated this with a sketch in a music shop and we acted out a library scenario where a researcher is baffled by what is provided by the library. The researcher wants everything in an integrated way, and not to have to think about cataloguing systems, confusing terminology and barriers to access.

2. The Seeker….
They call me 'The Seeker‘
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die
(The Who)
when we find what we seek...
3. The Pusher….
You know I've seen a lot of people
Walking around with tombstones
in their eyes
But the pusher don't care
Ah if you live or if you die
(Steppenwolf)
