<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">Rob Sanderson of the J. Paul Getty Trust tweeted in 2018
that “The interface /is/ the application, regardless of the technology.
Building better interfaces is building a better world.” What are the
implications of that for both library and vendor communities? Data sets,
open educational resources, video and audio files are part and parcel of
academic activity. Such output may be properly housed on institutional servers
but is the associated metadata for those materials sufficient to enable reuse
by others in the long-term? What might libraries need to do to better support
discovery and reuse of research output that has not been (or may never be)
fully integrated with more traditional publication formats? What elements
(descriptive or otherwise) might need to be included in order for users to
understand the potential reuse of the material?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">And at the same time, is it reasonable to expect a single
interface to satisfy the diverse needs of the domain expert, the
interdisciplinary scholar, as well as the undergraduate just beginning to
explore? How complex can a useful interface be? Is it possible to reverse
devotion to the single search box? It’s time to talk about design and use of a
service’s native interface!</p>
