5.14.08 Good Afternoon, This group is just wonderful. I received 15 detailed accounts of experiences with LibraryThing and the accounts shared were uniformly positive. Some exerpts: "We are definitely pleased with it. It helps promote older titles...and the suggestions are useful or at least interesting." Ted Benson, West Vancouver Memorial Library, www.westvanlibrary.ca "We are still doing a trial of this, [but] I think it looks quite good."Alan Brown, Bury Libraries
http://library.bury.gov.uk/record=b1280476 "We implemented LibraryThing in our live catalog as of March 1, 2008.
http://topcat.switchinc.org/record=b1480921. We added the following three features: browsing by tag, book recommendations, links to other editions and translations of the same work. The feedback we have gotten on these features has been positive so far. Jennifer Schmidt, Switch Library Consortium
"We are currently using the LibraryThing "tag cloud" and "similair books" widgets and have been very happy with both. I cannot rave enough about their customer service. After doing the free trial we decided to give it at least a year to see how the students like them."

We will most likely take advantage of LibraryThing's free trial. The product is easy to use and customer service is always a big issue. Again, thank you to everyone who replied--this group is the best!
Regards,
Janet
