LibraryThing experience



Library Thing

I think the LibraryThing tool is a wonderful "thing" - not only can you tag your special and most popular books, but you can also follow what is out there.  This feature is a definite plus for any library.


As stated by LibraryThing this is also a good social network system. You can also exchange ideas and comments. In this way you are always up-to-date with the latest books and reviews. 

LibraryThing helps you:
  • Keep track of the books in your life
  • Books you own
  • Books you've read
  • Books you'd like to read
  • Wishlist
  • Favorites
  • ... any collection you want (LibraryThing, nd.).
Moreover, you can see what others like and prefer to read. Books are at your doorstep - books are retrieved from Amazon, as well as more than 690 library collections. This is great! Because LibraryThing act as a book review website too...
