#19 web 2.0 tools

There are just so many web awards that I couldn't chose one.
My favourites are http://www.biblio.com/ used to search for out of print books,
www.docs.google.com/a/ a fabulous communication and collaboration tool including docs.google.com, and http://del.icio.us/ which I am still trying to tame.

I was particularly interested in John Riemer's comment in "To better bibliographic services", that the features of Amazon and Google, which are of interest to customers "ought to be incorporated into the services of libraries" and that the "options libraries present their users should extend beyond the options managed and under the control of individual institutions"

The web awards give many technological ideas to be considered when planning for the future of library services and how we can change our mindset to incorporate the web 2.0 technologies to benefit our customers and ourselves.
