One interesting aspect of Librarything is that they have been developing some “OPAC-boosting” products that allow libraries to populate their catalogs with user tags from the Librarything database. Here’s a post from their development blog describing their work with Danbury Public Library: http://tinyurl.com/39ss4k
A few months after completing out the Danbury catalog project, Librarything announced a partnership with AquaBrowser. Their partnership has resulted in a new AquaBrowser feature called “My Discoveries.” This is great news for my library. We will be implementing our Aquabrowser catalog with My Discoveries soon, allowing our patrons to access all sorts of librarything-esque features like tagging, making lists and rating & reviewing their books.
