I have been looking at some of the presentations of Andrew Pace listed at [NCSU Libraries Staff Presentations](https://www.lib.ncsu.edu/presentations/?ref=lorcandempsey.net "NCSU Libraries Staff Presentations"). Andrew is head of systems at NCSU Libraries and writes and presents frequently. In the light of OCLC discussions about ‘unplug and play’, I was interested in his presentation on the [disintegrated library system](https://www.lib.ncsu.edu/presentations/cil2003/disintegrated.ppt?ref=lorcandempsey.net). Also interesting on issues surrounding data in, and leveraged by, the [catalog](https://www.lib.ncsu.edu/presentations/2003ncla/NCLA.ppt?ref=lorcandempsey.net). I do not know Andrew; I realize other colleagues might.
