Thing #11

My experience with The Library Thing:

  1. Went to the website (Wow, another gift from Spring Branch library division!)
  2. Started an account, added my books (with ease, I might say)
  3. Startled, began clicking voraciously to find others reading some of my favorites
  4. Found groups- a little confused on some groups that were stagnate, and some very unusual groups, such as Book Moochers
  5. Found a group reading where librarians and others discuss Children's Literature ( A Collection Developer's Etouffe) and joined, of course
  6. Began looking for a recommended next read
  7. Thinking of how I could use this at school, library discussion or group discussion of books, perhaps book club forum
  8. Tried to link widget, but became frustrated when it said there were illegal characters in the web address, finally gave up (will try problem solving later)
  9. Logged off before midnight, knowing this could be a huge addiction! :)

  1. Sometimes adding a widget is difficult...I just wait until another time...it's like it's frozen or something...you come back and it's like "bang" it works....
    Just keep trying.
    Library Thing is great for finding additional titles for topics you like.
