Ann Arbor District Library (http://www.aadl.org/) in the US lets users tag catalogue records and contribute reviews. Plus they have this fun little thing where you can add scribbled marginalia to an old fashioned catalogue card. They also have a bunch of blogs users can comment on. In Aus Brisbane City Libraries (http://elibcat.library.brisbane.qld.gov.au/) and Yarra Plenty Regional Library (http://www.yprl.vic.gov.au/) use Tag Browser to incorporate LibraryThing tags into their catalogue (although library users can't directly add their own tags). Sutherland Shire Libraries (http://library.sutherland.nsw.gov.au/) use delicious in their online subject guides. Do you find this valuable? |

That is really interesting - we have finally upgraded our OPAC to support customer interaction although we still haven't rolled this out. The Ann Arbor initiative sounds way cool - its always great seeing other library's ideas to help discover a solution for your own library...Yarra Plenty set a brilliant benchmark for everything 2.0 - they are such visionaries!
