Thing 14 - Library Thing



I think LibraryThing is great for a small library, like our church library. A very easy way to make an accessible catalog for very little money. I especially liked the forum for librarians interesting and helpful.

I like the widget for the blog but I am a bit confused on why a public library would use it to take people away from their catalog. It is interesting the information LibraryThing has available about books, but there is not a way for a patron to request a copy of the book once they get there or an easy way to get back to the pubic library website to request it.
