LibraryThing

Tech Talks Presentation by Starr Hoffman, February 21, 2008

Abstract

LibraryThing is a Web site that combines book cataloging and social networking all in one shiny and remarkably easy-to-use package.  Creating an account is literally as simple as typing in a username and password, and you can enter books by searching titles, authors, or ISBNs--one click adds the book to your catalog.  But LibraryThing is more than just a place to catalog your books--you can review them, get recommended titles, find people with similar reading interests, even form online book clubs.  In this Tech Talk, we'll explore fun and interesting ways to use your LibraryThing account.
