Since I have very little experience with customizable homepages, I would lean on the recommendations of more experienced users and suggest NetVibes as the best option for librarians. The NetVibes interface seemed a little sharper, or more professional; on the other hand, a Google homepage might be subject to fewer restrictions on availability due to technological support issues or updates.
In many cases, I would assume a library's website would naturally be the homepage displayed on computers in the library. But if library staff had limited control over their website or limited web design skills, a customizable home page might be an alternative which would allow library staff to easily and quickly make changes or updates. Customizable homepages could be especially useful for small libraries or special libraries, cases where the staff is few or the library is just getting started.
