Some of the sites from the Web 2.0 Award Winners were great! I particularly liked LibraryThing (http://www.librarything.com/). This is a site that allows you to create examples of your private "library" by posting a selection of your favorite books on-line. You can catalog on line, share your lists with other and connect with people who have similar reading tastes, a great place for bibliophiles! Regarding classroom/library use, I could imagine setting up something in LibraryThing that introduced students and others to reviews of newly acquired books and allowed them to comment.
Another site that I found useful for our health classes. The website is Medstory (http://www.medstory.com/) and it is a search engine for questions about health related issues. The researcher can find information about diseases, medications, diet, etc. I will use this search engine with my health teachers and their students. A great find!
