Of course I could not look at just one site! Lulu, I found fascinating, and it had a demo which was good to get an overview of the site and what it can do. I am not going to publish anything but it is always something to keep on the backburner. I also had a look at MyHeritage which I joined, it said it was free and started to type in my family tree. I liked the fact that you could assemble a family tree easilyand for free. What I did not like was you get the basics for free when you want to extend and do more you pay. Also, although I was ensured of privacy I felt it was not complete privacy. The other nag I have is how do you 'unsign' yourself from these sites you sign up to. It was not obvious or clear how I did that. A demo for the site would have been good too. Actually as I type this up and think it through maybe I preferred the Geni genealogy site.
Applications for its use in a library setting, I guess it would link up very well with books on how to research your family tree and complete the process for many customers. If ever you wanted to do a book display on genealogy it would be good to include information and screen shots of these websites.
