web resource 2.1 - seamlessness

On reading the next section -seamlessness - I discovered my nanny analogy cropping up along with a possible solution. Along the lines of 'if you can't beat them, join them' one anwer could be to 'Googlise' everything.
Currently part of my job entails regularly visiting various government websites looking for documents they have produced. I download any that seem important and relevant and arrange to have them printed and bound to add to our collection. This seems like a lot of unecessary work and expense but, if they are added to our physical collection, then people can find them through the catalogue. Our current library management system doesn't let us add links to websites but hopefully the new system we are getting will enable us to make our catalogue more of a 'Google experience'.
