This post by Lorcan directed me to the University of Alberta's neat, new Facebook application. I love the way that they promote their ASK! services with lots of options and exciting graphics.
The best part, though, was seeing an iLink catalog (i.e. the same as Penn State) in Facebook. I still think displaying the catalog results in the Facebook environment is the way to go. And looking at their app highlighted some of the nifty customizations they've put into their catalog since we last looked at it. Do a search, and you'll see. On the item record page, in the left toolbar, there are now many different options, including Page Tools (Google bookmarks, Del.icio.us, Reddit and Digg). Wow!
We need to make our iLink do some of the very same things.
OMG--that is TOO cool. I love the page tools in their catalog!!!!
