SOCIAL CATALOGUING 


Just in case you needed help organizing your life; here comes social cataloguing to the rescue.

This is the first time I've ever catalogued what I read. I tend to read non-fiction and after reading a book; move onto another; however having a very visual memory; I can tell patrons what the cover of a book looks like; and may be able to put my hands exactly on its location on a shelf; but may be at a loss as to title or author.

Library Thing, may be just the thing. I also think I could recommend this site to patrons; many of whom carry around journals to record their read book titles.

My first attempt is here; http://www.librarything.com/home/pitbullpony

It kind of reminds me of Pinterest for books.
