This is the title of a fascinating article by three University of Manchester colleagues (Duncan Hull, Steve Pettifer and Doug Kell) in which they provide an overview of the difficulties we all face in using digital libraries and managing our bibliographies. They then describe various Web 2.0 tools for addressing these difficulties and making “digital libraries more personal, sociable, integrated, and accessible places”.
