Library Thing

Keeping track of your reading

So many patrons want to know of a way of keeping track of what they have read. There is a solution and it is called Library Thing. Recently the staff at ERL undertook a learning program about Web 2.0 and Library Thing is one of the new web-based applications we all learnt about. Take a look and see if you find it as addictive as some of us did

Library Thing can be found at http://www.librarything.com/

Library thing allows you to:
Create your own personal online catalogue of books
Rate and categorise (tag) books you have read
Find new books by similar authors or on similar topics
Get book recommendations
