I am a LibraryThing addict. Being an avid reader I am enthused about using LibraryThing to create a book journal of what I read, my response to what I read and the prospect of sharing this information with a community of fellow bibliophiles. Creating a record, a history, of what I have read over time is a wonderful prospect. I will have the ability to look at my LibraryThing in several years time and relive the world of that narrative. How exciting!
LibraryThing in the library environment is great. Searching the library catalogue for new titles and favourite authors with the added feature of reviews and ratings from LibraryThing is a fabulous enhancement to the catalogue, as it is a link to additional information for the reader. LibraryThing is sharing of information by book lovers for book lovers. Additional free information for our readers is what every library needs.
I love Library Thing for Libraries, but don't seem quite organised enough at home to keep up with my personal Library Thing. I'll add it to my "To Do List" ...
