VuFind from Villanova University

Web 2.0 Awards 3rd place winner VuFind is an open source program that works with the Online Catalog for libraries. It is designed to be user friendly and customizable for each library. This allows the individual library to add widgets and create new ways for patrons to access and chose resources. It won the 3rd place category for Books the winner was a self publishing site. I like the concept. It allows users to tag the item they want to keep like bookmarking and gives them the option of finding out more information about the author by clicking on the author's name. It also accesses reviews from Amazon.com. I actually didn't see anything I didn't like in this site.
