Web 2.0 in library websites
10:49 AM EST 1/4/08
One of the things I've done recently is to "Web 2.0ify" our home page (http://www.mrrl.org) by adding a Flickr slide show, our blog and twitter feeds and some "add to social bookmarking" ability on some of our pages (including catalog entries). This is a temporary solution until the web site is completely redesigned. With this, and some serious idea-stealing, in mind, what library websites have you all seen that incorporate the features and applications of Web 2.0 in a really innovative way? I'm reasonably happy with what we have now, but if someone else is doing something really cool - I'd love to steal the idea and add it in!

MRRL's new updates is a widget directly from Twitter. It displays our Twitter feed on the site - which gets it's information from our blog (so some of the entries will be the same), our Flickr stream and our Bookmobile announcements.

Mike, I think that absolutely qualifies. It's very cool for the patrons and p.r. for the library too.

This is a great topic that should be seen by a larger audience. I'd love to see this thread grow with more examples and additional discussion. As a result, I made the [url /forums/message.jspa?messageID=49015#49015]question of the week[/url]!
People will post their suggestions here in your topic or as a comment on [url http://blog.webjunctionworks.org/index.php/2008/02/05/question-of-the-week-share-your-library-web-20-sites/]BlogJunction[/url].
Thanks for the great question!
