Libray Thing

I had looked into LibraryThing as a possible solution to our automation project, but found out that the limit for paid accounts is 5,000 books (weakness) and while our collection is small, it's not quite that small. I have set up a catalog of my personal favorites at: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/vespl

One of the other weaknesses is a 200 book maximum for the private (free) accounts. That number is too low either for my personal collection or for many individual reading lists. I think it would be a great way for patrons to keep track of their reading lists (at least for the current year) or for use with the summer reading program.

I was surprised to see the Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro is only in 2 other accounts, it is one of my all-time favorite books. My own book Americana is 1/12th Scale is in two other accounts also (yeah!).
