T2 - Social Software in Libraries by Meredith Farkas

This book will get you fired up about the possibilities of your library's site; just studying the URL's she references is inspiring. For example, see http://www.spl.org/default.asp?pageID=home.

Yes, compared to many libraries in Minnesota, the Seattle Public Library, is in another realm of libraries, but still, there are many ideas that a small library could implement. The initial setup of many of the services involves an investment in time and technical knowledge (which, lucky for us, we're learning with 23 Things on a Stick), but after that, they require little maintenance.

I'm having fun imagining harnessing all that information.
