Sites and Soundbytes: I Want To

I want to is another site from the amazing Phil Bradley. Now this is the sort of information and simple interface that public libraries should be providing their patrons. Phil links to over 300 web applications by listing them according to what they do for you. Wonderful!

And why aren't public libraries approaching things from this plain language, simple design approach. You don't have to be a Web 2.0 expert, but you and people on your library's staff are experts at something. Think of the database of pathfinders we could all create!

A reference one called I Want to Find...
Reader's Advisory: I Want to Read...
Literacy/Lifelong Learning: I Want to Learn...

Pathfinders are part of my library's Long Range Plan, and this may just be the example I was looking for to get me going on the project.
