Thing 13: LibraryThing

So, LibraryThing is pretty cool. I have never actually used it before. The link to my library is: http://www.librarything.com/profile/endthought.

I was happy to see a few people had Arkansas and Indiana hiking books also, so I will have to check out their libraries.

Of course lots of people have Little House in the Big Woods and the Secret Life of Bees.

Women's Diaries of the Westward Journey has been added by 294 people, which is cool.

That is pretty much all I have added at this point, but I see potential to become addicted to LibraryThing.

I think using LibraryThing could be a great way for MCPL to enhance its OPAC. I like that patrons can write reviews and recommend titles. It's a great way to incorporate Web 2.0 into our library. I also think LibraryThing is a terrific way to share booklists with patrons.
