Just a quick fyi. We recently changed our teen Web site around a little. One thing you might notice is missing: the "Express Yourself" link. This was a place where you could write book reviews and put them on our Web site. We also had big plans for this being a place where you could share your writing and other artsy endeavors. We aren't eliminating this possibility, we're just going with a new approach. It's called Bibliocommons.
Bibliocommons is the name of a new catalog we'll be getting in a few months. What is Bibliocommons? Well, you know the catalog we have now, where you go to look up books and movies? Imagine that, combined with Amazon and even a little bit of Facebook and you've got an idea. You'll be able to look up library items on Bibliocommons, place holds on them, see what you've got checked out, renew items, etc. All the usual stuff. What makes it fun is that you can also sign up for a user account, and while you're signed in you can write reviews, tag and rate items, create lists that you recommend to other users, even follow other users who have similar interests. Bibliocommons is easy to search and a lot more fun than a regular library catalog because it does all these other cool things. Keep your eyes open for Bibliocommons on our Web site - we hope it's coming soon.
