UT Libraries Technology Pros

I realy like some of what Plymouth State is doing to allow browsing by LC subject. If you click, for examle, Sociology, you are taken to a sort of socioloy portal that contains links to course guidelines, relevant databases, pre-populated searches of the OPAC, reference materials, websites, and the sociology librarian's contact info. Click on a pre-populated OPAC search and you are able to broaden/narrow the search by clicking tags as well as bookmark or choose from RSS options.

This library allows drilling down by genre for music and movies. Useful.

An alternative to reCAPTCHA...still not perfect. It could trip up someone with cognitive disabilities..or pretty much anyone having an off day. But perhaps it's better than asking a blind user to remember an 8 digit sequence with JAWS talking over the recording and having to repeatedly enter/exit forms mode? It could be edited to include an easier sequence which would make it even more accessible for everyone except spambots.

Interesting example of an overarching policy for all blogs, wikis, photo sharing, etc
