Week 9 : Books and reading

Librarything is fantastic. I doubt I'd use it for my personal library but I wish I'd known about it when I catalogued the kindergarten books. It would have saved me an enormous amount of time and it would have been easy for the kinder staff to use. Because you can add tags you can search for books in your collection by those tags. For the kindergarten simple subjects or tags like bears, animals, pirates, cars etc could be used then teachers or parents could find books on that subject. Wow. And to think I used a clunky excel database. For this exercise I added some books we have at home and tagged them with simple tags like the ones mentioned above. Then I created a widget.
