At Hennepin County Library we recently redesigned the way we present our
selected Web sites and subscription databases to our users and invite
you to take a look.  We brought these two resources together on a single
Subject Guide and incorporated blog-like librarian notes, links into the
Catalog, links into our e-Book collections and links to related library
classes and events.  Also, custom booklists that link into the Catalog
and RSS feeds from outside sources are incorporated directly into the
page.  

Nearly 40 librarians throughout our system regularly maintain these
pages via locally developed web administration tools.  Pictures of our
librarians add a personal touch and reinforce the fact that "real"
people are providing this content for the user.  Later this year we will
add the capability to subscribe to the librarian notes via RSS and
e-mail.  Librarians change their notes monthly or more frequently.
