Yes!

and… wouldn’t it be great if library vendors offered their wares in widget format? Like the free worldcat.org widgets, but customizable (and maybe proxifiable for off-campus users)? EBSCO, I’m looking at you! (esp. since they seem to read your blog …)

I blogged about this a while back (http://cogscilibrarian.blogspot.com/search?q=widget) and got some interesting feedback from the University of Texas (http://www.lib.utexas.edu/tools/)

@Jenn-

Cool idea! I don’t have an exact answer off the top of my head. The closest thing i know about it this widget called Babylon Box which can be used in NetVibes, iGoogle and other places. Maybe it is close enough!

Great article Aaron.
Have you ever run into a dictionary widget that can be embedded in a Flash file? I am building a research tutorial for ESL students and think it would be great if they could look up words on-the-fly.
