Value of…
Library thing
Millions of tags really big, massive data sources
Sometimes its almost too big to be user friendly.
Vs
Penn tags,
Thousands of tags, but only useful through graduation,
Get local users involved in creating something

Discussion:
How do you get people to actually go in and use your website? Especially if you are a small library? At universities, students are forced to use them for information on almost everything.

Johnson county just launched new weblibrary. Much discussion about how teens are using it but not leaving comments.
Are comments a valid way to judge traffic?
Maybe gate counts work better.
What are the baseline numbers that are needed?
Do you find this valuable?

biblo commons
even if every state started up a shared site there wold still be 50 different sites across the country which would still be cumbersome. We should be looking a regional or even timezone sharing. Libraries though are reluctant to share information with each other other than catalog info.
