LibraryThing

This week I had an opportunity to explore the website LibraryThing. It is an online tool that allows the user to catalog his or her own personal books. While you can pay for a subscription, ($10 for a yearly account or $25 for a lifetime account) the service does offer a free account, which allows you to catalog up to 200 books. In addition to cataloging your collection, you can also add tags, rate your titles or write book reviews. LibraryThing is also a social network…allowing you to connect to other users with similar reading tastes through group forums. After creating an account, I added a few books to my library. Below is the link to my LibraryThing catalog:
