Organise yourself Module 1 "Looking@2.0"

Hopefully by now  you will be exploring this module.  Organize your books is a lot of fun, one of the topics referred to is social cataloguing websites and it makes reference to Library Thing.

Here at the Burdekin we use Library Thing for libraries for a lot of things including book reviews and there are some 450,000 reviews in Library Thing which we potentially draw from. The best part about these book reviews, they are from people who actually have read the book and from all over the world - pretty impressive i think.

To see an example of LibraryThing for Libraries on our catalogue use the link below;
