Thing11 - LibraryThing

I actually joined LibraryThing right after hearing Angela Semifero's presentation and have found it very useful. For example, I have used it to try to find books when patrons know the idea of the story, but not the author or title, by using the tag search. I also used it just the other night when a student had misplaced his book for a school book report. He'd read the book but couldn't remember some of the details. I pulled up the title and some reviews to help him complete his assignment. I also love the idea of My Library! I have read so many wonderful books that I often don't remember those I want to recommend. I was glad to sit down and add them to my collection (http://www.librarything.com/catalog/SMAGNUSON). Now I just need a little more free time to try to find all my favorites to add to my collection, plus make a list of those I definitely need to get to. Absolutely love this Thing!
