Thing #8

Library Thing - For those Librarians that like to do their "thing". Okay, here's where I fail. I don't have alot of time to read, so there isn't much for me to share on this site. I read lots of papers and magazines, and books on web tools for classrooms, but not alot of Fiction. I did like the Zeitgeist and Group Tabs that Library thing has to offer. If I do find the time to read, I like the fact that I could go to library thing and get a review, or look at top 25 authors. This is a great link for librarians that have read lots of books on their shelves and can write reviews about those books. I see how it would benefit a student looking for a good read. They would be able to log on to Library thing and get a member review of a book title they might be interested in reading. There are lots and lots of tags here which would be great to add to our del.icio.us accounts!

I agree...time is an issue for using this for personal cataloging. I do find it useful for doing things at school. If we just had another 20 hours in each day...maybe I'd feel caught up. Nah, we know that we'd just fill that time up as well!

Time is an issue, but I always have 10 - 30 minutes to read right before I go to sleep every night. Unless I doing computer stuff.... then I'm fried for the night. More time is what's needed...Now, how do we get it?!
