Thing #11 - LibraryThing - more thoughts

As I was taking a break from 23 things, I was thinking more about LibraryThing. I wondered, "Can you only add books? Could you add your CD collection? Your video?" I'm still thinking that if there was a way to track your loans to your friends that this would be incredible!

I tried adding a recent CD I purchased and it wasn't listed as something that I could add easily. I also tried adding a DVD. It wasn't found on the Amazon or LC sites either linked to LibraryThing. And I know that it could be ordered from Amazon. So, I'm guessing that it is somewhat more dificult to add media to LibraryThing. Maybe this will be a future upgrade??!

Another thought that I had was that if this had a wish list feature that might be helpful also!

Just more things to ponder!

#11 - Library Thing

I saw the LibraryThing website as I was looking over some things related to Thing #9 with library related blogs & news feeds. So, LibraryThing was not entirely new by the time I got to it. It is an exciting website. One question that I have not figured out yet is, if you "loan" a book to another person, will it track that for you? That would be incredibly helpful for my husband who has a large library of professional books and is frequently loaning books to various people.

I added a few of my children's books that are favorites. I joined the group: Librarians who LibraryThing . I also subscribed to the LibraryThing blog.

This looks like an exciting website that I hope to share with my teachers and students.

This website is really cool!

Happy Summer!
