I LOVE LibraryThing. It was really easy to set up my own account and to start making a list of books that I have read. It is so fun to have a place where I can list all of my favorite books! I love it. Most of my books have a nice picture of the cover, which is even better. I can see all the books that I read as a little girl.
I think that LibraryThing has a lot of potential for a library website/blog/wiki. It would be great to have an account so the librarian could show new arrivals, works from a featured author, and/or books related to the theme of the month (Black History Month, Women's Month, Thanksgiving, Halloween, etc. etc.). It's an interactive way to show off books without actually "listing" them.
LibraryThing is something that I will definitely keep using after this class. And I LOVE seeing my favorite books cycling on my blog!! :)
