After glancing over the Web 2.0 awards list, I chose to explore Biblio.com. Biblio allows customers to search for out-of-print or rare books, and locates them from one or several booksellers. The customer then buys them through Biblio.
I tried searching for several books that I've recently ordered for the library. Specifically, I searched for several that our 'backup' vendor had difficulty locating, therefore we didn't receive the books for months. The search in Biblio successfully located sellers for the books, and in almost every case listed slightly lower prices. I don't know how this would work for some of our acquisitions, but it's an interesting idea.
