It includes a page with links to some of the TDNet customers around the world. The page also includes links to the TDNetUsers list that I manage, in case you're interested in joining. Finally, a colleague, Peggy Cooper, will be doing a presentation at Internet Librarian conference in November in Palm Springs. A bit of added useful information from that talk is extracted below.
