A pretty good site for info and how-to on Web 2.0 tools is located at techsoup.org. http://www.techsoup.org/toolkits/web2/
Working in circulation at the library I am not sure precisely what tools would be of value to the library as a whole. In circulation, however- and Microsoft Online notwithstanding- we could use shareable calendars like the ones at http://assignaday.4teachers.org/ or http://www.eprintablecalendars.com/. These were designed for teachers but certainly could be used in the workplace.
Surveying patrons about various programs and products could also be useful. Surveys can be collected and evaluated online at http://www.zoomerang.com/ and http://www.surveymonkey.com/.
It is possible the library could benefit from podcasts, by allowing programs to be recorded then making the available for download. Library patrons might also benefit from RSS feeds about popular or trendy topics which the library could link to on our website.
Web 2.0 tools are varied but basically allow the public the easiest access to any and all information. The only downfall would be maintaining the integrity of the information we offer.
