Thing 15 -- Library 2.0

Traditional library catalogs have a long way to go from achiving what Library 2.0 is all about. Reading from John Riemer's comment, and looking at what our HIP can do, for example, no relevance ranking, can't suggest spellings, users can't leave comments, tagging... It is frustrating sometimes. There's not even an easy way to add a link to the blank space on the catalog page to promote some other services or databases we have. Wish we have more support and resources to do what we want with the catalog. I really like the endeca interface. I think it's awesome! Wonder what the price tag is now that more and more people are interested in their product.
