The holy grail for many research librarians is one-stop searching: seamless access to all the library's resources on a topic, regardless of the source. Miriam Blake, Library Without Walls Project Leader at Los Alamos National laboratory (LANL), is making this vision a reality. Blake is part of a growing cadre of experts: a techie who is becoming a librarian (she plans to pursue an MLS through distance education). She entered the field as a page in college, then became a library systems technician, responsible for migrating a first-generation proprietary system to a UNIX-based open system platform. This article briefly describes the work of Miram Blake and her effort for one-stop searching.
