I'd love to see our cards usable in a swiping thing, like credit card machines - I think it would be more intuitive to customers.<BR/><BR/>We had a great group discussion Friday night with Dewitt about the web stuff - I think he might have taken some notes on his BB. One idea included having the capacity of Netflix to keep a long waiting list for yourself, and to be able to rate your returns so that the catalog gets to know your likes and dislikes and can make better suggestions.Cat Herselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08661146086943795408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833882.post-89832291072224728552008-03-31T11:44:00.000-04:002008-03-31T11:44:00.000-04:00Great idea to look into the Starbucks Ideas.

In Denmark we actually have a national "My library idea" site which is exactly like "My Starbucks Idea" at: www.voresbibliotek.dk (in Danish it means "Our library"). <BR/><BR/>Users have been posting a lot of different ideas - the most popular ones are:<BR/>- Digitize alle danish books - that would bring the libraries into the digital era<BR/>- Transfer: "Other users who like this book also likes..." to the physical library. Let users decide where the book should be placed and let the users make exhibitions.<BR/>- Make a movielibrary.com where users can download movies and loan them for e.g. a week<BR/>- Make a commuter-library: Many people in Denmark are taking buses or trains to work. Make a service for those users by placing lending and delivering machines at train an bus stations.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if there will be any report in english - but if there will I'll let you know.Sidsel Bech-Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448645783007839644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833882.post-61366434639551682442008-03-30T20:48:00.000-04:002008-03-30T20:48:00.000-04:00That's a great post Helene.
