Week 5, Thing 11

I've known about Library Thing for awhile. I've even attended a lecture on Library Thing while at the Youth Services Retreat in Ashland. In fact, I think I actually had an account a long time ago, but I couldn't remember which email I used and what my password was so I had to create a new one. I found the sign-up process very easy and not confusing at all. I think that Library Thing is a really neat tool to utilize at home or for a library that serves the public, but you definitely have to have time to mess around with it. On one hand, I guess you could not spend alot of time and make it very simple, but you could also get very involved and very detailed. For me, I could get very detailed with my personal collection at home if I had the time because I have hundreds of books, dvds, and VHS tapes on my bookshelves. I just picked a couple of books out for this exercise though just to play around with Library Thing and experiment a little. The following link is to my library. For some reason, it won't link by clicking on it, but you can cut and paste it and then go to my library.
