Thing 14

I started a library in LibraryThing. You can link to MY LIBRARY and tell me what you think of the choices or make more suggestions. It's just a beginning, but the implications for sharing are amazing.

I can see our media center using this as a link on our new library web page. Students can comment on books they're reading AND it would be a great way to feature new acquisitions. It seems that once new books are shelved it's easy for them to be forgotten. I would love to have a LibraryThing page that we call "New Arrivals." Both staff and students would be able to see the actual book covers which would definitely promote circulation.
