Whitten Library Goes Online!

I have begun to enter all of our books into LibraryThing.com. This will allow you to browse our collection of books from the web. Listed below are the features.

Catalog your books

Easy. Catalog your books online or keep a reading list.

Social. Show everyone your library, or keep it private. Find people with the same books as you. Get recommendations from readers like you.

Powerful. Search Amazon, the Library of Congress and 30 other world libraries.

Tagged. Tag your books as on Del.icio.us and Flickr (eg., wwii, magical realism, computing, country living, cats).

Safe. Export your data. Import from almost anywhere too.

Free. Enter 200 books for free, as many as you like for $10 (year) or $25 (life).

Now this will take time so be patient! I have no idea how many books we actually have but it's got to be more than 1000. Be sure to go to the profile page and check out the features there.
