- Authentication as user in class allowed to create lists (at least librarian, faculty member)
- Model of user classes/groups/individuals and authentication of these in access system to see a particular virtual collection
- Method for selecting resources not only in local discovery system but also other university discovery system (or are resources from other university displayed locally for selection?)
- Bulk selection method to support selection by resource characteristics (could be "select all" for a set of search results)
- Authentication as user allowed to view virtual collection
Use Case: Tag scholarly information resources from multiple institutions to support reuse in multiple systems.

Potential Demonstrations
A. Identify books on the virtual shelf of engineering reference handbooks Engineering librarians build virtual reference shelf: In moving from a physical engineering library to a virtual library the engineering librarians decide to replicate online the popular shelf of key engineering reference handbooks that used to in the physical engineering library. In collaboration with the team providing their local discovery and access system, they decide on a tag that will be used to create an "Engineering Handbooks" facet. As the different librarians are specialists in different subject areas they decide to work together to tag items in their respective areas. One librarian creates the tag. They each then tag items from the catalog. These tags are then used in the local discovery and access system to populate the "Engineering Handbooks" facet.
B. Identify "classic texts" in physics/astronomy/chemistry
