In September 2007, the Ruth H. Hooker Library at the Naval Research Laboratory requested installation of Metalib. This presentation describes the process (past, present, and future) to make Metalib available to NRL personnel.   The philosophy and work behind making Metalib comfortable for users is discussed.  Following that are some comments about who has been using Metalib, what their reactions have been to it, and how to get more people to use it.  The conclusion looks at Metalib’s current status and its future at NRL.
