One of their librarians developed WPopac, an OPAC based on WordPress: http://www.plymouth.edu/library/opac/

WPopac’s developer recently won the Mellon Award for Technology Collaboration: http://www.plymouth.edu/thirdtier/fullstory.phtml?number=5224

Of course, I think mostly of all the work we have yet to do (like completely revamping the main library website), so it’s nice that someone would mention us for what we have been trying to do so far.

I just added Igloo chat box that allows pour users to chat with our reference desk without having to install any software. We also have had some type of chat based reference service since 1994. It started out being a web based form and now uses AIM. Keep up the great work. We are also experimenting with a wiki for staff use.
