Hennepin County is ahead of the curve...

A notice on Web4Lib went out about the Hennepin County Library redesigned presentation of recommended websites & subscription databases on their Subject Guides page.  It's great--bringing together all the online librarian-selected information on one place.  They also offer "blog-like" librarian notes, links into the catalog & e-Book collections, links to related library classes & events, booklists, and RSS feeds from outside sources.  They even have a Databases vs. Websites page, explaining the difference between the two in easy to understand terms.

I would absolutely love to do something like this for Marin.  Of course, they do have 40 librarians working on these pages...and I'm just one person.  But the way they've tackled integrating online information is admirable, and an example for those of us trying to improve our own library's website.
