I had a meeting this morning and another one this afternoon, but I was able to check the two online catalogs I’m building. aNobii seems to have no limits to how many books I can enter. I can enter 500 ISBNs at a time and when it doesn’t recognize something, it makes it easy for me to enter the information myself. LibraryThing came through and put 104 of the ISBNs I tried to import onto my shelf. Links to social information for each book are wonderful. I’m considering coming out of my own pocket for the USD25 to be able to enter unlimited titles.
Are there any other academic libraries doing this?
I was at a meeting this morning and I started blathering on a bit about user comments and social network sites. I got the feeling they didn’t know what I was talking about. I’m kind of nervous about letting my colleagues know that I’ve set up a blog and that I’m playing with these… what do you call LibraryThing? A social bibliographic site?
Well, got to run to my next meeting.
