I tried to add a variety of genres to my Library Thing list. The adult novels seemed pretty popular. The children's novels were less so and the educational title only had 15 other readers.
As I added tags to the titles on my account, I felt like I should be a little more thoughtful. I typed in the keywords that popped into my head. I thought I should be more systematic by thinking of genres or books that I would like grouped together.
We have a teacher summer book club at my school and we decided to read, Teaching with Intention by Debbie Miller. I noticed David Loertcher was one of the members who read this book and was curious to read his review. It was not very favorable. The school library, library teacher, technology are all absent from Miller's book. From the comment I clicked over to Dr. Loertcher's library. It was fun to look through his titles and than to look for other name I recognized.
I am amazed at all that is connected in this site: reviews, recommendations, discussions, public libraries, book sellers...

You are moving right along! You will be way ahead of your colleagues at school. Do you have a plan for how you will showcase and share your web 2.0 skills?
Best wishes.
Library Thing is a great tool for posting new books in your school library. It's also an easy way to keep track of what you've read and want to read.
I would like to start a book blog for the library. We will also have a school board presentation to show how we are using technology in the library.
