Thing 14: LibraryThing

In this thing 14 I created my account in the online catalog Library Thing; now I have my own record of books that I have read. I started to add the books by title. Then program finds the title and brings up the picture cover of the book and additional information. I also created my widget of random books of my library and place it in my blog. I have the option to invite friends to my library thing.
This online catalog is a very good tool to use in libraries, because librarians can inform the patrons about the new books. With the option of sharing the Library Thing, the patrons can place their comments about the listing. Exactly this is the use that the Minnesota School of Business Library is doing with the Library Thing.
