Thing 15 – Discover LibraryThing

~~~~~~~~

LibraryThing is a fantastic place for users to catalog and connect over their personal media libraries. I spent way too many hours exploring the site and starting my own personal library of books. I noticed that it also had a feature where users who utilize the software program Delicious can upload their book list. This will be especially useful for me as I have the program and using my macbook’s webcam as a “scanner” I can import my books more quickly. Maybe that will help me save some time that I so desperately need lately. I also enjoy the social aspect of LibraryThing and how it connects you with readers who share similar interests. It’s almost as if you have your own personal book club with people around the world!  I can see this site being incredibly useful for keeping my classroom library books cataloged, helping me to avoid purchasing duplicates of books I already own but have forgotten that I do.

Although my LibraryThing catalog is no where even near complete (maybe less than 1% at this point), you can see my catalog of books here: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/dklaus.
