Thing 13, part 3

I made a Library Thing search widget. Here's how it looks.



You can search my Library Thing library. Kind of limited since I don't have many books in there yet. Try searching on 'detective fiction.'

Thing 13, part 2

I added some books to Library Thing and made a widget of the books. Here's how it looks. The text links back to my books on Library Thing. The book jacket links to Amazon which the developer says is a requirement for using covers from Amazon.

I wonder how this would work in making a widget for new books in our library. Wish I knew programming to get the widget to link back to our catalog. I like the book covers but don't really want to send people to Amazon. I want them to borrow books from the library not buy them from Amazon!

Thing 13: Library thing

I'm going to like Library Thing. I've heard about it but never really investigated it.

I added some books, easy to do. Love how the cataloging pops in there! I like the tags aspect, so I can find other books to read. I'm always looking for similar books to my favorites.

Interesting use of Library Thing with book reviews for teens. I also liked the use by one teacher and her reading class.

More on Library Thing later.
