Thing 16: LibraryThing

What's in YOUR shelves? LibraryThing is a much better way to catalog what's on your bookshelves than Shelfari as far as I can tell. And it has a better networking system, better cataloging, better groups, better searches, just better all the way around. They have over 30,000,000 titles in their system, which is amazing.

I could use LibraryThing to catalog my personal library; it's been far too large for too long. My husband is a retired Professor of English. We've actually begun to give away books to scale down. But what is left could stand to be catalogued so that we know what we have, whether there are duplicates, how old, etc.

But the TIME to do it? Now that's another thing . . .
