In the February 2000 issue of Wired Magazine is the article \”Cyborg 1.0\” It is subtitled: \”Kevin Warwick outlines his plan to become one with his computer.\” Warwick, what a great irony, for catalogers, no?

Readers may be familiar with the attempts by library folk to catalog the net using the Dublin Core and the Warwick Framework. (References below). These catalogers worry that the net is being indexed by search engines that can\’t possibly keep up with fast growing and chaotic web resources.

Emotion 2: That raw, I wish it were the weekend thought, when the patron slams the books down on the desk and shouts \”I am a taxpayer, and…\”
