thing 13) library thing

luckily, i already use library thing and have a paid account. i had to use library thing extensively in library school for a YA literature class, writing reviews, tagging, commenting, etc. i'll admit that i've slacked off with entering books into library thing, but i do enjoy the tagging feature. my two favorite personal uses for this account is tagging books "to read" and also keeping track of what books i've read in my book club.

as for the library, i think that we could use this to tag books as staff recommendations, award winners, for book groups, for summer reading, etc. the possibilities are endless. once again, consistency and planning in organization are a priority for efficient use of this site.

we use BookLetters as a way to disperse reading lists to our patrons, so we could also tag books with book lists and BookLetters tags/names so that it's easy to pull all the books together online.
