Very interesting.  Actually, Sally Wilson had pointed out your site.  I

We have been using the Yahoo! Carousel Component for some time to 
display browsers for our new library materials. I tend to avoid Flash 
for interface stuff as much as possible. From the page below, click on

I currently also have an in-opac shelf browser under development using 
the same component. Here's an example:
