Thing 16 - LibraryThing

I have to say a lot of the cataloging stuff is over my head. I do not do this at all in my job, so I do not know what would or would not be useful to libraries. I did think the isbn tool was neat though. I often do book reviews for newspapers and journals and the isbn can sometimes be tricky when dormatting your work to a certain style.

I have used librarything before to find books. Earlier this year I was looking for children's fiction books with math concepts and I found lots of talk about that topic: here is one that was helpful: http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.php?topic=17364

I have found that this collection of people who discuss different and obscure topics of books is much more useful.
