Description:
LibraryThing may be the most relevant-to-libraries Web 2.0 service out there. It is a service that lets you catalogue (yes, with Library of Congress headings!) your own collection of books. Once you have a collection yourself, there are lots of things you can do, the most fun (I think) is use the Suggestions button to find people with similar reading interests. Or if you want to be even more social, you can look at your profile and see who has the same books that you have.
Hints:
- You will need to create an account with LibraryThing and this will require an email address.
- You will need to figure out how to add some books (say about 3) to your library to do this.
- Similar readers will be shown on your profile page.
- You do not have to put in books that actually exist in your real library. Put in whatever you want.
- On things #15-20, I am willing to accept "I tried and failed" as a successful completion of the thing. No need to spend hours on these if you get stuck.
- I am "Greebie" if you want to see my collection.
