Week 8: Answer boards and social searching

Interesting concept especially for librarians. We have a "Ask a local Librarian" tool on our website and if had the enough staff we would have liked to have featured Meebo - not really an answer board but still in line with social searching. Don't know if I would trust an answer board with anything serious - but still a fun and interesting tool for light hearted issues. Our patrons are able to rate and review all titles in our catalogue (reviews that approved are made available for all to read).
