What Do You Need?

• Reliable/Accurate?
• Incorrect information is worse than no
  information.
• Choice of Content?
• One size does not fit all.
• Accessible?
• The need for information will not go away just
  because the library is closed.
• Ease of Use?
• If users dont understand the format or
  functionality then they will not understand the
  content and they will not use the resource.
