This weeks assignment was the world of social networks devoted to books. I'm sitting here composing my thoughts while the "original asmatic kitty" tries to wrap herself around my neck. Not always the most conducive work atmosphere, but never boring!
Anyway, the site I choose a few weeks ago was Shelfari so I have used it in this assignment and created a link on my blog to my "shelf". I also took a look at the "LibraryThings" site. Of the two, the LibraryThings looks like it may be a little more "user-friendly". Shelfari takes time to choose and edit your bookshelf. I think both could be helpful not just for staff but for our patrons, particularily those who like keeping lists and sharing their favorite reads. I plan to look closer at the groups on Shelfari--maybe those for mystery/crime books. I also think these could be helpful for music and movie lovers too.
