Librarians must trust other service providers not to overwrite their work. Librarians must believe other librarians are going to include valid content in the system. Everybody has to work under the same set of collection management policies and discipline lists. If somebody wants to add an item to the system, then there is nothing stopping them from doing so. This is an empowering feature.
Results are immediate.
On the other hand, if you create an atmosphere of centrality, then results will be less immediate and librarians may take less pride in their work and feel less in control. Remember, the names of the librarians are listed right there on every MyLibrary page. Articulate who will be providing MyLibrary services and have an initiation party. The actual maintenance of MyLibrary requires brain work and a willingness to use the system's administrative interface. The brain work relies on the ability of the librarians to identify information resources complying with all the policies outlined in the previous sections.
