You may remember a post I did on
LibraryThing for Libraries or the one on the
Review feature in our catalog. Well, there is now an enhancement to the review feature that lets you choose a category. If you are a member of a book club, you can review your clubs titles in our catalog, and check that it is for a book club. Or, for
Scranton Reads, you can review
The Things They Carried and select that it is for Scranton Reads. We're going to be using those review to promote the titles on the Scranton Reads Website.
Another cool thing you can do with
LibraryThing for Libraries reviews, is to share them with your friends on
Facebook. After you review your favorite books, click on the reviews in your account. Below
your reviews, you'll see a link to Put Your Reviews on
Facebook or Share Your Reviews on your blog. Click the link to put them on
Facebook. This will open
Facebook to the
LibraryThing for Libraries "At My Library" application. From there, you can select how many of your reviews you want to share, if you want them in your news stream, if you want to share other peoples reviews from your library, and if you want to put the application directly on your profile.
This is also very cool from a librarian perspective, because the application links back to our catalog directly to the titles you've reviewed! So keep on sharing and make our catalog a happening place.
