Libraries at Home

This is a very promising piece of ongoing work by Libraries Hacked.

"Watch" pulls together podcasts and videos, "Read" is a blog feed and they're working on "Listen."

This is the sort of thing I'd hoped would have been the basis of a national digital library platform but those projects always seemed to begin and end in discussion of expensive sexy portals.

I wonder how many English library authorities still do Unity submissions. The obvious add-on to the Libraries at Home site would be a union catalogue search which could easily be done with WorldCat if the data's there to be found.
