Library Thing

Another toy. I think I will continue to use GoodReads more (it is free and unlimited and it means you exchange book info with the people you know, which suits me more than with strangers). However, Library Things's input tool is sooooo much better than it used to be. You can choose from 690 different catalogues to search for data on - so it gets the out of print and small publications if you search their local research libraries. The state libraries of Australia are all there so that was good fun!


This is the link to my catalogue - http://www.librarything.com/catalog/harbison
but I cannot really see the use for a catalogue that only holds 200 books. Gurulib looks much more useful to me - a tool rather than a toy.
