Social Bookmarking
In the State Library of Tasmania catalogue, it allows customers write his personal reviews online on the book they have used and the reviews will be attached to this book's catalogue. When another user search for the same book, and the review will come up, so the user can read these reviews fist, and then decide to continually read this book or not.
I consider this hommization service is very convenient for users. It is very helpful for the borrowers to get a overall impression or other previous reader's critical opinions on this book before he borrow. And then make his own decision to borrow this book or not, so it can save the reader's time and make his work more efficiently.
I think every library should imitate the Tasmania Library to provide this service. My local public library, Hurstrville library provide this service currently.
