(Week 8) Exercise #19

Library Thing.


I had already looked at LibraryThing a little earlier in these exercises and had added the Thief Lord to my catalog. It was interesting to putt around and find out how to link the catalog and the blog, not to mention all the other information that is available there. Sometimes the conversations are not that interesting, but I can see using LibraryThing to find out what other people think of new books.

I like John Kilima's idea of putting LibraryThing widget on his library's webpage that says 'recommended reading from your YA Librarian.' What a valuable way to provide Reader's Advisory.
