What is Library Thing?
Some of our readers will have noticed that the Library Catalogue has a slightly new look.
Tags are appearing at the bottom of many title records. These tags are descriptions that other readers who use Library Thing have given the same title. If you click on any of these tags eg. Regency, you will be taken to other titles in our collection with that same tag. This is a great way of finding more books to read that you might not have found otherwise.
So what is Library Thing? It is a Web 2.0 social networking site where anyone can catalogue their own books online. It connects you with people who read the same things. Get recommendations. Tag your books and explore others' tags. It's fun. Check it out.
