A couple of years ago there was some interest in

1) expressed preferences.
2) inferred preferences based on behavior.

How successful have such myLibrary systems been -- how widely
are they in use?  Are any in use in a public library setting?

Thanks.

Pat Leamon of NCSU Libraries (mentioned in a previous post) asked me to 
pass along her list of MyLibraries, last updated January 2002, and 
organized by those that use NCSU code and those that don't.  She also said 
that Brarydog from Charlotte Mecklenburg Public Library (mentioned in 
another previous post) is the only MyLibrary type system she knows of in a 
public library setting, but that there may be some in languages she doesn't 
understand.
