This exercise revolves around all the applications associated with Web 2.0. We were asked to visit Semoz.org's site and choose an award-winning application to explore. I decided to explore Wufoo, primarily because I really like the name:) What is Wufoo? Wufoo strives to be the easiest way to collect information over the Internet. Our HTML form builder helps you create contact forms, online surveys, and invitations so you can collect the data, registrations and online payments you need without writing a single line of code. I think the library would be able to use this site in many, useful and interesting ways. How about putting a small survey on the self-checkout stations, after patrons had checked out their items, asking what they like and dislike about the system. You could build a similar form for the CML website which could ask customers what they think of the reserves system. There could be a computer at each branch dedicated to patrons wishing to leave comments regarding the library and what we could do differently. A survey could also be inserted into CMLsi asking employees what our thoughts are, the possibilities are endless.
