Thing 14: Library Thing

I created a LibraryThing account, and I added a widget to my shelf list. (It should be over on the right side of this blog.)

My library team has already batted around the idea of having a "Readers Recommend" section or something similar on our library page. We could use LibraryThing to set up the recommendation list.

I do distribute lists of new acquisitions. I think that using LibraryThing, especially with book photos, would add more flare than a table in Word.

Isn't the cover art of books copyrighted? Are you sure we can display covers in this format?

I need to tackle LibraryThing. There is so much to learn!!!

I don't think publishers would care about copyright of book covers b/c it's like free advertising for them to have the book covers displayed.
