One of the tools is a 40-question survey which will plot one's amenity for open sources software and hosted software solutions -- http://bit.ly/AkHzxX  The tool then outlines computing solutions based on one's score.

Thanks for calling that out, Eric.  I'm also looking for ideas of new questions that similar self-guided tools could help libraries answer (and consultants that can help write them).
