Biblio.com is a great site - over 50 million second hand used and rare books can be accessed - it is a straight forward site to use with every category of book covered. The prices are there with a description of the condition of the book. The library could use the site when looking for older books they wish to have back in the collection or need to replace. There could also be a link on the library website for patrons if they are trying to track down a particular book. Recommended!

Thought zoho writer was fun and would use it for writing drafts of letters or anything I felt like trying out- being able to share is good - if I wrote and wanted someone else's opinion they could have a look without needing to send it separately to them - lots of gadgets to use on the site as well.

I'm sorry but I didn't like this site - it drove me mad creating the account and I can think of simpler ways to search my favourite websites - however I can see it would be a way of keeping all your sites together for research purposes.

I really liked Librarything - have only put on a few books to look at the system but will go back and put in more later - main good aspects for me were reading reviews that other people had written - some very well written and well thought out reviews. Also looked at Librarians for Librarything and read a section on computer rage! in libraries.
A good site and will use more fully later. http://www.librarything.com/catalog/jclifftop

Had a lot of fun looking at Generator - all these things are a great way of making you feel inspired to create so a lot of time passed - dedicated this wordle haiku to the last hour..or so!

Wiki sandbox is a fun idea - good way to get to know the likes,dislikes and views of the community that you work in - interesting to see what others are reading and watching. Like other online sites you can make them as deep or as light as you want.
