OKAY!! Library Thing is a new tool for me. I have heard Buffy Hamilton and Kris Woods talk about it. Now I get it!! I set up my account and started searching for the books that are laying next to my bed and POOF there they appeared in a nice little library.
Then I got the SOCIAL part of the Library Thing when I saw the other people who had the same books in THEIR library and I click on THEIR library to see what they had been reading. I found some more really cool
books about clay and pottery and added them to my list and then CLICK!!! added them to my One Click order for AMAZON!!!! Yikes!!! This could become very dangerous!!
I then tried out the Group tab and because my friend Freda is turning us all into TEA NUTS, chose the TEA discussion group where they were all talking about what kind of TEA they are drinking. CRAZY!! I could see so many ways students could use Library Thing as a springboard for finding similar books to their favorites and expand their “libraries” Who knew?!!!! PS I also spent some time on the LIBRARY THING BLOG and added the feed to my READER!!
