Week 5: Thing #11: Library Thing

Ahoy!

Well, I've fallen a bit behind in my progression of the 23 things. Its not a problem since this whole program is self-directed, and I've never had a problem with playing with technology.

Well, not counting when our library's IT department came and "fixed" the computers -- configured them so we have to use unique log-ins to do our work -- and they haven't worked the same since.... I just love trying to print a document I'm working on and having it print to a reciept printer...loads of fun, that. (NOT)

But enought of that lilly-livered, land-lubber griping. On to thing 11 -- Library thing. When I first saw this, I didn't think it would be all that useful...an online catalog of the books I own and/or have read? But the power in it comes from the linking and social aspect of it all. I can find others that read or own books that I put in my Library thing..and find things they're reading, read reviews, etc. This is a neat tool for true book junkies!

The exercise for this particular thing included the following:

Discovery Exercise:
1. Take a look around LibraryThing and create an account.
2. Add a least 5 books to your library.
3. Blog about your findings and be sure to link to your LibraryThing catalog.

Thar She Blows!

I figure once I add more than 5 books to me thing, it will be a bit less of a giveaway of my "secret identity"....har har har YAR!
