63 This is just the beginning! Discovery: Community Tagging Collection enrichment: Community Reviews & Ratings Delivery: Patron Record Activity Alerts “Materials on the hold shelf for you”

64 Initial implementation Huge uptake - exposed server problems Positive feedback from the majority Haven’t used in production during semester - yet Exposes the sins of cataloguing decisions over the years Trade-off between collaborative development and local look and feel
