Abby Blachly from LibraryThing
will be speaking in class on February 20th.
LibraryThing's website:
Abby Blachly is LibraryThing's head librarian. Her LibraryThing profile: http://www.librarything.com/profile/ablachly
A description of what they do: "LibraryThing is an online service to help people catalog their books easily. You can access your catalog from anywhere—even on your mobile phone. Because everyone catalogs together, LibraryThing also connects people with the same books, comes up with suggestions for what to read next, and so forth."
And more at http://www.librarything.com/about
You can sign up and catalog 200 books for free so I encourage you to sign up and get some experience with the site before the next class.
