How can this site be used for readers' advisory purposes? How would Customers & library staff find this site useful?
On this free social networking website for people who love books, you can see everyone's bookshelves, their reviews, and their ratings. You can also post your own reviews and catalog what you have read, are currently reading, and plan to read in the future, join an online discussion group, start a book club, contact an author, and even post your own writing.
If you click on the 'explore' tab there are other things such as trivia, quizzes, videos, quotes, events & a swap option!
Yes I would, & already have promoted http://www.goodreads.com/ to customers.
I don't see why we couldn't have these above options added to the Manukau Library Website. We already have reviews & ratings, so wouldn't it be wonderful for customers to be able to add their own bookshelves, although currently we do have the option of 'Reading History' to keep track of reading history. Through our library website we could compare our booklist to that of another Library member & find readers who have similar tastes - thereby finding more great book suggestions.
I JUST LOVE THESE WIDGETS!!!!
