Thing 15: Library 2.0

I think that OPL is a little behind the Library 2.0 (and sometimes even Web 2.0) movement. The articles listed came out 2 or 3 years ago and we just recently had a MySpace page created! We have been very territorial when it comes to our catalog. I would love to have a catalog with tags and common terms so that patrons can easily find what they are looking for. Or how about allowing patrons to rate books and write book reviews to share? Personalized suggestion lists? Amazon.com and Netflix.com can recommend titles based on past check outs or purchases, why can't we?
