Thing 14 - LibraryThing

I think this would be a great thing for library patrons who want to track the books they have read and the books that they want to read. I just returned a couple books that are due to be returned to their home libraries, but I did not get a chance to finish reading them. They are now on my "To Read" list.

My book club has read many books over the last few years. I'm going to make a list of all the titles - not sure who has an up-t-date list right now.

Easy to install the widget in the blog.

I have read that with LibraryThing - everyone can be a librarian - many people like the concept of tags and I think this would be a great personal organizational tool.

We use Destiny in our school libraries and we have liked using the Visual Search feature to display a list of books for students on a certain topic or for a class. I need to give some more thought to the use of categories which a lot of school media specialists have used successfully.

I skipped a few Things earlier so it is time to go back and fill in the blanks. It is nice that Blogger allows me to backdate my posts so that they will be in order.
