Week #5, Thing #11 -- Web 2.0 Award winner, Biblio.com

I selected the Web 2.0 Award winner Biblio.com. This consists of over 50,000,000 used, new, and rare books to purchase from community businesses throughout the United States -- does include some from Canada and Australia as well. I like that it had an easy to use search tool which included a separate subject search tool. It also had a separate textbook search option and a rare book section. Some book reviews were included, but not for all titles. I would suggest Biblio.com for personal use rather than for library use as it deals in used books, but also because it simply is not geared for public school libraries. One useful features to the site was the advance search option. If you were looking to replace something old it is probably one of the best search tools around for locating it. I like how it gave details for contacting the bookstore the items is located at. It was easy to use. I also learned that Biblio.com is a global thinking company which works to build libraries in other countries. I would recommend it to others. When you have a moment try it out at http://www.biblio.com/!
