The Shifted Librarian - Shifting Libraries at the speed of byte

"The badge on the right is, IMHO, very cool. Run your mouse over it and click on an mp3 link to hear music. If you'd like to give your readers the ability to instantaneously hear the best of EM without leaving your own site, see these instructions." [Gary Robinson's Rants]

My EM badge is over at the bottom of the left-hand column. Mouse over it to check out how cool this service is! This is more for me than anyone else so that I can always access the list quickly and easily. This is a fantastic implementation that I'd love to learn more about.

Imagine having such a badge on your library's web site showing your top 10 reader recommended titles or most popular titles (all dynamically populated from your catalog or a database). What if we could combine statistics nationwide and each library could put a badge on its web site? Heck, it wouldn't even have to be a badge, but that would probably be the easiest to add into everyone's existing designs.
