Widgets and Gadgets Discovery

Have just been on the University of Auckland Library Search widget. If I understand it correctly this is a widget that could be added for example to my blog, so then my blog followers can search this library's catalogue and databases from my blog. This is great from an ease of use point of view, and I can see potential for this tool to be well used by customers e.g. if they could put a widget of CCL Search facility on their iGoogle page they could access a lot of information from one place. A colleague who did CCL Learn Pilot group showed me iGoogle awhile ago, and I find it really useful - i have gadgets like multiple time clocks for cities around the world, Google map directions, weather forecast on my iGoogle page, and have just added a Facebook Summary to it so I can easily see updates. It will save me opening lots of new tabs and logging on to different applications when I can access them all from one place. Will now have to go and add Twitter to my iGoggle page!
