Thing 14 -- LibraryThing

I really like LibraryThing, at least at its most simple. I could see having a library blog with reviews, both of my own and of the ones on the site, which would allow students to see more information than they might otherwise. It could very easily be a way to construct some recommendations for summer reading, or for teachers to collect information on possible books for their students.

Personally, I want to go home and catalogue my own collection. My husband has been bugging me to do this for insurance purposes (I have a Ph.D. in English, need I say more?), so this seems the best tool out there.

It has been fun to play with LibraryThing, and I put two of its widgets on my blog already.
