[Web4lib] Conduit Library Toolbar

[Cecily Walker]

Hi everyone,

Our library was recently approached by someone from Conduit, a company
that specializes in on-demand content syndication. One of their
products is a Conduit Toolbar, which is very similar to a Google
toolbar, except that it allows organizations to push selected content
to any patron who installs the toolbar on their system. The
information page is here: http://www.conduit.com/Toolbar/Benefits.aspx

Have any of you made the decision to use this product in your
libraries? What about those of you who have heard about the product,
but decided against it?

I'm interested in hearing from anyone with any experience with this
product. How has this product enhanced your library services? What is
the benefit for library customers? What were the pros/cons of using
this platform to serve information to library customers?

Thanks in advance, and happy Friday,
Cecily Walker
