Web 2.0 Awards

I looked at Biblio.com under Books and found a site for used book searches and buying and selling. They claim to have 50 million used books. The top tabs were helpful: Search, Browse, Bookstores, Textbooks, and Rare Books. I could look in the rare books for a long time. On the left side of the site there were also categories of "Community" which offered book reviews, discussions, and collecting, and "Customer Service" with an email address for questions. The bargain books for under $2 was also fun to explore. This may be a useful tool for helping a library user to find the possible sale price and/or value of a book they own, or maybe a source for ordering a book they would like to own. They also have out of print books which are sometimes requested.
