Blogs/forums in OPACS?

This is a facinating post about Ann Arbor District Library, who have integrated Blogs onto their OPACs homepage as a means of engaging with the library community, and gathering feedback on the services offered. Whats great, as The Shifted Librarian states, is the sheer volume of comments coming in. All the libraries I've worked at, we'd empty the cr*ppy box once a week, one comment slip would fall out, to find - well, the comment shouldn't be repeated here! But each post is getting 20+ comments, and they're really top notch stuff.

Libraries should be trying this over here, I think - I'm quite interested to find out if anyone has , or if people have some ideas on how Talis could help you on something like this. Drop me a comment if you've got something to say...
