And agreed -- digital libraries and library systems ought to be the same thing. In practice, however, there seems to be a real (organizational and perhaps cultural) divide between the catalog / resolver / metasearch people and the repository / digitization / metadata people. Tear down the wall, I say; we might learn something from one another. Thanks for adding those to my list, jrochkind.

Aren't all libraries 'digital libraries' in 2007? But anyway. Yeah, I know)... But I can't resist another opportunity to shill for my institution. We have two jobs open right now in the Systems Dept at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore MD.

I'm nostalgic about my time in Oregon, but living in Eugene might make me feel kind of claustrophobic after having lived in Seattle and out east. At the risk of sounding like a pretentious city-slicker, Eugene just feels like small potatoes compared with Seattle, or even Portland. (Nothing wrong with potatoes, of course.) I'm sure you can relate after years in Chicagoland, though perhaps, being a boy from Fall Creek, you totally hate it and are looking forward to fleeing the densely packed city environment. But, yeah, I see your winky and I catch your drift. :) My best option right now is looking like staying at Princeton; and that'd be great for us since I absolutely love my job. We'll see...
