The winner of the Web 2.0 Award 2007 in the books category, lulu.com, is a very easy to navigate self-publishing online tool. It offers many useful features allowing creative types to publish words, art or music for either fun or profit, conecting with potential buyers in more than 80 countries as well as connecting with the "largest" online writing community. The site, which averages 500,000 visits per week offers a live help or chat centre. A click of the publishing tab, within a very easy to use menu, gives endless options for the individual creators, non-profit groups or businesses looking for innovative publishing solutions. A digital media service can help you publish your own video, ebook, CD or DVD, or prepare a multimedia presentation.
Kids Creations has all sorts of tools and programs to help young budding authors and illustrators to create their own stories, poems, cartoons etc.
I'm sure lulu.com would be a very useful tool for library staff to promote to their users, many of whom have already shared their creative dreams.
