I have really enjoyed working with LibraryThing. It is easy to use and the site has access to so many books. I was impressed that it is connected to Amazon.com and the Library of Congress. Even though I have a Shelfari account, I will still use LibraryThing. I plan to use my Shelfari account with my students for their reading logs, so I am going to use my account with LibraryThing for personal use. I enjoy discussing books that I have read, and now I will have access to learn about books I want to read as well. I looked through some of the groups and I found one that addresses my favorite: Crime, Thriller & Mystery. My favorite authors are John Grisham and Mary Higgins Clark. I can honestly see myself using this. I also added a widget for LibraryThing on my blog. This was fun!
Which do you like better? - LibraryThing or Shelfari

Diane, your post and your Library Thing widget makes me want to take another look at the site. I still think I like Shelfari better for using with students because of the simplicity of the layout.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of using LibraryThing for you and Shelfari for your students. Both sites have advantages, but I can see where I would use LibraryThing for my own purposes as well.
ReplyDeleteWe have some of the same tastes in books!
