I have explored Merlin before and even attended a morning intro to the site a year or so ago. This is a wonderful opportunity for training and communication that we shouldn't waste.
This visit I enjoyed reading mystery reviews written by collegues. I cannot help wondering, however, why librarians consistantly review titles everyone is already reading. We don't really need to know about the titles with long hold queues even though we might want to read them - after all everyone else wants to so why shouldn't we. Let's not waste our time reviewing them though. We need to hear about some good titles to substitute when the popular titles are not available.
