LibraryThing

This is an interesting social network. The main problem I am having now is trying to remember all the books I have read over the past years. I have gotten a few of my recent reads and some of my favourites of all time on there. I am struggling to remember some in between ones however!

I am yet to place tags on my books and upon clicking on another user who read one Matthew Reilly book it put me in my place. The depth of tagging, and also the amount of books in their library certainly shows me the work I have ahead of me to catch up!

I think this is great. The amount of times I have enjoyed a great book and come to the end thinking "whatever will I read next?" Now I have an option to look through others with similar tastes to me so I can pick out the next book for my own experiences.

Now excuse me, I must get back to adding books.

I wonder if there would be the same enthusiasm amongst clients for seeing tags in our catalogue records? I think it works really well in the SLTAS catalogue.
