The Joys of Library Thing

I created my Library Thing account last semester after we had talked about it in class and have loved updating it ever since. I think it's a great way to keep track of the books that you have read, review books, look and see what other people are reading, and other related activities. I really like the versatility of the site and think it is very applicable to the library setting. Students could simply create accounts and then share their accounts with friends or classmates. You could also encourage the students to write reviews for the books they've read so that their classmates could view these too. Another helpful feature is the recommendation list, which would also encourage continued reading by providing a list of books that would most likely interest the student. Overall, I really like the idea behind Library Thing and am excited to explore it more and eventually implement in my own library.
