"OCLC (http://www.oclc.org), the largest library online cooperative, is setting a new strategy that could move it as well as public and academic libraries across the country and the world into an emerging, unified, virtual library service on the Web. Much of the strategy parallels a controversial and widely circulated think piece originally published in Searcher and promulgated by the author, Steve Coffman, as the “Earth’s Largest Library” (ELL). Basically, Coffman’s ELL concept
proposed using an Amazon.com-like model for interlibrary loan."
