The integrated catalog… • A system of linking databases to each other so that content may be updated once and delivered in diverse media across platforms and processes • Increases return on investment for all data-building activities

But most importantly, you'll see how to keep panic from killing your best ideas before you even get them. Who knows, you might even learn to have some fun in the process.
