Google Map of U-M Libraries
Create a Google Map showing the locations of the U-M libraries, with links to the libraries' Websites. Mash it up with pictures from flickr of the libraries' exteriors. Users can then, among other uses, easily get directions to libraries using Google Maps

"Suggestion Box" blog
We could have a blog that is used as a suggestion box. VCU does this http://blog.vcu.edu/libsuggest/ and it seems like it could be really interesting. Patrons could submit their suggestions via a web form (linked to from the gateway?) and then librarians can post it to the blog, assign a category, and respond to it publicly. It could be used for anything from reference questions, to noise complaints, etc. I’d especially be interested in it as a way for patrons to respond to interface issues (like when they find something difficult to use). Of course, we’d need a group of librarians willing to read and respond to questions, but maybe it could be incorporated into the Ask Us services.
