WEEK 9 - BOOKS AND READING

Read the LibraryThing blog. A film reference - great! eg. Chris has added a feature for related movies in Common Knowledge. Here's an example, from Romeo and Juliet. Zeitgeist could do your brain in, oh my god, also very popularist in focus, representing every reading group title we get asked for.
Virtual shelf - pictorial - covers of books
Widgets - a link or jumping point in your blog to connect people to LibraryThing.

I did not open a LibraryThing account but used Fiona's account to explore.

Checked out Booktagger.com.au as an Australian developed site. Thanks to Fiona for suggesting this when I despaired of the American slant to all these other sites. Why is entrepreneurial drive in the internetosphere an exclusively American gene? Where are the Brits or continental Europeans or Scandinavians? Why only the USA at the coal face of possibilities?

Could offer borrowers another place to check out reviews (albeit not mediated or edited etc) apart from our E resource list with these kinds of sites. Booktagger has a Book Club section - both real and online clubs which might be of interest to borrowers who want another kind of Book Club model to join.
