We have to make the service experience right for our customers first. That service experience extends to the web as well -- Library websites that are searchable in a way our customers "Expect" they to behave are key! As someone working in an academic library, I know that abiltiy to link to favorite books, to comment on them and to share those comments in social networking sites such as Facebook or mySpace is a service that our customers are expecting from us.
