Check Out LibraryThing.com
By JLP | June 27, 2006
Here’s something kind of cool I read about in this article titled Social Networking for Bookworms in today’s Wall Street Journal. The website they profile is LibraryThing.com, which is a pretty neat site. Readers can create accounts and share their personal library with others. I set up an account but haven’t added any books to it yet.

Very cool! Although, I’d be worried about never getting my books back…

Amanda,
No, you’re just sharing the catalog records and info about the books, not the books themselves.
This is a cool site, which I would be totally into if I didn’t do this kind of thing all day at my day job. I love cataloging, but don’t want to spend my spare time that way!

Oh you made my day!! I have been wanting to catalog my books forever but I;m not savvy enough to create my own databases. Yippee!
