This is a fantastic site - a lot of interesting web links and just a fun place to play. I looked at the mapping awards and chose Google maps. I found a satellite map of my house! This could be useful for library patrons, not only looking for directions, but for those looking for information on a place they're moving to, on a place they're researching, for people who want to see what other parts of the world look like. I found the google maps easy to use and extremely versitile.
In fact, I looked through the lists of tools on a lot of the award categories. I've played with Flickr - how fun. And Picassa looks useful. Under "Books" I found a searchengine for out of print books. Useful. Music, games, desktops, bookmarking (I was interested to note that delicious was not one of the top 4, but Furl, the one I will use, is. Also ma.gnola.), visual arts. All of these could be useful to our patrons as they come to the library to work on projects and do research. Will tag THIS page as IMPORTANT RESEARCH TOOL.
