Library Thing
Categories : Links, books |
I’ve discussed this site before, but on the occasion of passing 800 books catalogued I thought I’d give another mention to what is perhaps my favourite website - LibraryThing. This is a simply brilliant site with which you can keep track of your book collection, as well as interact with other book lovers in a number of ways. You can get book recommendations, write or read book reviews, and interface with online stores such as amazon, and even local bookshops if you live in the USA. But it’s not completely American focussed - you can search for your books in the catalogues of a huge number of libraries internationally (including several in Australia) and in a variety of languages.
I especially like the way you can use your LibraryThing data to interface with other websites, like I do with this blog. They also offer widgets and plugins for a variety of other web spaces, although as yet I haven’t found a really good one for Facebook.
Anyway if you have a book collection, take a look at LibraryThing. And if you want to see my profile, as an example of what it looks like then go here.
