I'm glad to see that some of you have signed up as authors already. Thanks, and please post as much or little as you want.
The way I see it, we have two challenges. One is to make our public aware of the electronic resources -- selected websites, databases, and e-books -- we offer. The second is to remove the barriers to use by making them easier and more convenient to use.
To my way of thinking, we need to address the second challenge first. We can market our services, but if people come to them and then can't figure out how to use them or find the process cumbersome, then we'll lose them again.
To jumpstart the discussion, I've posted links to several other libraries that have come up with different ways of getting at these resources. (Thanks to Mary Beth and Marcie who suggested many of these last year.) If you know of other good (or bad) examples, go ahead and add them to the list. Let's hear what you like and don't like about these sites. Go wild.

I started a new post with my ideas instead of trying to put everything into the comments section. Feel free to edit my post or to leave comments. Julie, I'm not sure how you want us to handle this. What was your vision for this blog?
Sorry, I'm not very good at tagging. I tend to forget about that part of blogging, so feel free to add your own.
I feel the same way about tags, sometimes I think it's best to wait until you have a few posts and then add them later. You can add posts or comments as you like -- I think posts get noticed more readily. On that note, I'll try to add a post on that very topic today :)
