"How do we manage it so it delivers?

"Currently, there are so many tools; don't know where those are & how to find them. Bamboo a directory, but not like a static webpage w/a list of links. Similar to concierge model. Maybe the only thing I input into Bamboo profile is what I work on, not my dog's name or what I ate for dinner last night. Predefined tags/categories, and allow people to create their own. Conversation doesn't have to happen w/in Bamboo, but this is a tool for me to get there."

"Notification services - if you find a resource you're interested in, and you want to know when there's new material, you could be notified. If you're interested in a topic (WWI) - could you get that from a finding aid system as well as the sheet music systems, and other systems. Could be very useful to researchers, could be facilitated by Bamboo" (<abbr title="Workshop 3 (January 12 - 14, 2009) built off the progress of the Working Groups.
