OPAC Text Message

"Click here for the bibliographic record for Hanging Out with the Dream King. Again, note the boxes on the left with the new addition of "Missing or Checked Out?" that gives users options to find the title in other ways if it is unavailable. I would love to see this feature duplicated in every library catalog in the world. Also note the option to send the book record via text message, and the item tags at the bottom of the record."

Too cool!

Other features are outlined here- http://library.bowdoin.edu/news/phebe2007.shtml

LibraryThing in the Library Catalog

The Danbury, CT, Public Library has tied its library catalog to LibraryThing, integrating LibraryThing tags and similar books into the bottom of their catalog records. Read more about it at here. Or, try it yourself. The page loads slowly, but it is worth it!
