An attractive and easy to use site that was completely redesigned in November 2006. The catalog search is prominently displayed, along with links to patron account functions, Library ELF, services, web links, reader's advisory information and the events calendar. The recently implemented LibraryThing for Libraries in the OPAC provides searching by tags and recommendations of similar titles.

The Danbury Library catalog has mashed with the social networking tools of Library Thing for Libraries.

If you look for a book & want to find "more like this" (more Irish fiction, say, like Maeve Binchy's recent Whitethorn Woods), you could, of course, use the Library of Congress Subject Heading (LCSH) Highway bypasses -- Ireland -- Fiction. But really, how many books are there with that subject heading in the catalog? (answer: in Danbury's catalog, 3 -- all different editions of the same book). The LibraryThing-ified Danbury catalog record for Whitethorn Woods shows some neat tags leading you to related books. It also leasds you to "Similar Books:" a few others by Maeve Binchy, plus some you might not have considered. One cool thing is that it only shows similar books that are in the Danbury catalog -- so you don't get recommendations of books you can't borrow from Danbury.
