#11 Library Thing

Ah yes, nothing like an online catalog for my many loved books.

I'm sure no one is suprised that I put in mostly graphic novels first. I think the thing that is most useful for these 'catalogs' is that I tend to get really good recommendations from my friends' profiles.

And if there is something we, as libraries, could learn from Library Thing is how our patrons are actually searching for information. Perhaps, someday, we will purchase the algorithm that makes this rather effective search engine possible and put it into our own catalog.
