Librarything for Genealogists is the title of one of the talks I will be presenting on the 4th Unlock the Past Cruise in February. I am so excited to have an opportunity to tell a few people about it because it is one of my all time favourite sites. I visit Librarything on most days.
As I start to prepare my presentation I have been going over the site. I don't use all of its social functions because I just don't have time but I do have a favourite.
On the Connections Tab of Librarything is "Interesting Libraries"; this is one element of Librarything that I love because I can follow what other people are adding to their personal collections if I add them to my list of "Interesting Libraries". Most of the interesting libraries I follow are those of other genealogists and bookish friends. I like to see what they add, rate and review and to compare their libraries with mine. I could even check to see if they own a hard to find title and plead with them to do a lookup for me.
Looking through the list of "Interesting Libraries" I follow I note that there are a few fellow cruisers on the list. If you want to take a peek into their libraries here are some links for you.

I wonder if any other cruisers are Librarything fans.
Among the other libraries I follow are these genealogists:
alexdaw, AnglersRest,audreycollins, ausgenjourneys, BeckyJamison, caroleriley,cassmob, cdfhs, CMPointer,DebbieKennett, dougangene,drumcondra, johngasson,kingstongenealogy,KirstyF.Wilkinson, Leslie_Ann,Linda.Ottery, lmdhs,lovegenealogy,Merron, NSWGenealogy,perkinsy, ,pschultz, sheenatait, smbrennan.
Librarything membership is free for your first 200 books added and a lifetime membership is $US25.
Librarything is a fantastic tool to organise your personal library and record your reading. I suggest you give it a try.
