2.0 Award Sites

One of the nice 2.0 award sites is Biblio.com. Often, people want to hunt down out of print books and it is convenient to have a site that makes this possible. One big advantage is the more expansive search designs--in particular, the keyword feature--that allows you to try to track the book down easier with only partial information (which is often the case). The browse books feature can also be most useful in hunting down books with only some information about the book. One thing I don't like about it is that when you put in an exact title, it can often also bring up near titles. This is, of course, useful when you are searching but very annoying when you know what you want. It would be nice if one had two fields, perhaps with the headings: exact title and flexible title. Of course, one obvious application for this site regarding a library setting is that it is a useful tool in helping a reference librarian track down an out of print book for a patron.
