Other Academic Library Websites
One of the obvious things to do when redesigning any website is to go and see what else is out there. Here is a list of websites that we're looking at in this process, particularly in our Focus Groups. Most of them were pulled from the LibSuccess
Library Website Hall of Fame wiki site. Being a wiki, my guess is there was no oversight on what was added. So I removed a couple from their list and added some of my own.
I'm interested to see if anyone can suggest other good University Library website to look at?

I am surprised no one mention this site in our meeting today: http://www.aadl.org/. It is not academic but receives the highest praise in all the Web 2.0 options that have included.
Look at the catalog: cover images, fake library cards, reviews, comments, tagging, etc. It really gives ownership of the experience to the user. I can see some of these tools really be utilized by a SAGES class (or a class of similar nature).
