#15 To better bibliographic services

Web 2.0 gives librarians the opportunity and the inspiration to make our services more user friendly. Where other book resources such as Amazon and half.com let their users add comments and reviews to individual items, and services like delicious and library thing let there users tag not only their physical library but also the "library" of information available on the web. These are all technologies that could be Incorporated into the library database. It is no longer up to only the librarians to assign subjects to their materials, it is now possible for users to do so also.
