Week 8: Online applications & tools Thing 19: Library Thing

Library Thing allowed me to begin to create an online catalog of summer reading titles. The site provides options to share your enjoyment of books with others who selected similar reads, join a forum or groups relating to your choices, or create your own group. Create an account and rate your selections, tag them and search for others that readers might enjoy. Librarians who LibraryThing numbers 2898 and Read YA Lit has 888 sharing their love of YA Lit. Non-Profit accounts are available for a nominal fee. Is this the future of online library catalogs? Too cool!
